Roadway Maintenance
Snow and Ice Control
Vehicles parked in the street during a snow occurence risk being ticketed or towed. Vehicles may be moved back onto the streets after the storm, as soon as crews have plowed from curb to curb. Residents are asked to park elsewhere when measurable snow is eminent, in order to help our crews perform their plowing duties in a safe and efficient manner.
