Winter Tips

When the winter season approaches it is important that residents remember the following rules when snow arrives:

  • DO NOT plow snow in the road or across it. Keep it on your property and in an area that does not obstruct your view or that of drivers on the roadway. If you hire someone to plow for you, please be sure that they are aware that it is illegal to plow snow across a highway. It leaves a hazardous situation for the traveling public.
  • DO NOT let children play in snowdrifts near the roadway. It is difficult and often impossible for plow operators to see them.
  • Keep your house numbers clear of snow in case of emergencies.
  • If you have a fire hydrant near you, Please consider shoveling out around it. This could save the fire department precious time in an emergency.

Parking

There is no parking on TOWN roadways from November 1st through April 1st unless otherwise posted.

Town plowing procedures during snow events:

There are nine main plow routes within the town. During snow events, clearing state and county roadways are the first priority. Plowing then proceeds on the main collector roads, followed by local roads, residential developments, business parks and cul-de-sacs.

If any resident should have an emergency health situation during a snow event and needs to have the road cleared, please contact the Highway Department at 585-742-5094.
