Snow is forecasted this weekend , and ahead of the storm , we wanted to share the Town’s
Snow Removal and Ice Control Planand
Snow Removal Map
.
The primary purpose of the plan is to focus snow and ice removal efforts so that safe travel routes are available for a majority of the public during winter weather events .
The Town utilizes contractors and internal staff to perform snow removal with the goal of exceeding the performance noted in the Snow Removal and Ice Control Plan .
During each storm , the focus is on
Priority 1and
Priority 2streets . Crews will plow and apply de - icing materials to keep these roads safe and drivable during the storm . The goal is maintaining two - way traffic on these roads , though parked cars on residential streets can impact plowing widths .
Depending on the intensity of the snowfall , crews will also plow and apply deicing material on
Priority 3streets as conditions allow during the storm . If conditions do not allow plowing during the storm , Priority 3 streets will be plowed following the storm . On Priority 3 streets , crews will initially open a single lane and will open up two lanes following the storm . Parked cars in residential areas can impact the crews ' ability to open up two lanes as snow plow trucks must stay 2 to 4 feet away from parked cars to prevent pushing large chunks of snow and ice into vehicles .
Priority 4streets are streets with fewer homes and cul - de - sacs . The streets will only be plowed when snow accumulations warrant plowing and after the storm has ended . When plowed , the goal is to open up a single lane on these streets . We generally do not apply deicing material on Priority 4 streets but may apply some material if conditions warrant .
Snow plows have little option but to push snow off the road toward the curb or sidewalk . This will result in large piles and chunks of snow , called “windrows , ” being pushed in front of driveways . These piles of snow that develop in large storms are , unfortunately , the responsibility of the property owner to clear .
What can you do to help?
Avoid non - essential travel during the storm . Vehicles on the streets only slow plowing operations .
Do not park cars on the street if possible . Parked cars reduce the lane areas that can be opened up .
Drive carefully if you must , and be patient . Crews are working hard to ensure town streets are safe .
If you have a question or concern about snow plowing , please report it via the Town’s
Superior Click and Fixwork order system .
