DPW UPDATE REGARDING ROADS

“We will continue to plow throughout tonight until the snow stops and all roads have been plowed and cleaned up. Keep in mind that this will not be accomplished as quickly or as effectively as people are used to due to the continued presence of enormous amounts of snow on the sides of roads as well as the hard pack snow and ice.

Tomorrow (Friday) we intend to treat all secondary roads with a mixture of 2:1, sand:salt; the highest concentration that we have ever applied to secondary roads. The salt in combination with forecast sun and warming temperatures over the next several days should loosen the hard pack up so that we can begin to remove it from the roads. We will continue to salt, monitor, and scrape until the roads are clear”.
