SNOW REMOVAL - During snow events , the Town’s priority is to provide emergency vehicle access; therefore , arterial roads ( Royal Ave , Commerce Ave , South St and Shenandoah Ave ) will be cleared first . To clear the roads effectively and efficiently we ask citizens to please assist the Town by:
Parking off the street if possible .
Refraining from driving
Removing snow/ice from sidewalks adjacent to your property .
Waiting until after plows have finished clearing your street to complete your driveway and mailbox shoveling . Trucks are not able to pick up plows for every driveway or mailbox and it is possible your driveway or mailbox could , unintentionally , get blocked back in with snow .
Refraining from pushing snow in the street as this causes slick areas in the road when the snow begins to melt and re - freeze .
Snow events can be frustrating for you and your family and the Town takes every effort to clear the streets as quickly and efficiently as possible .
As with any situation , if you have an emergency please call 9 - 1 - 1 .
Stay safe and warm!
