Snow Plan
The Department of Public Works (DPW) begins planning for winter weather months well in advance. Equipment must be serviced, vehicles inspected and supplies ordered to ensure readiness for the first flake - or the first icy downpour of freezing rain. We have developed mobilization plans for winter weather events ranging in severity from a light snowfall to a full-blown blizzard. Each response plan will vary somewhat according to the weather forecast and changes in temperature, which we continually monitor so there are no surprises. Other factors include the severity, length and number of successive storms. Our team is available and ready for whatever hits. As in other municipalities, public safety determines the priority for snow removal in the Village. Clearing and salting efforts focus first on major roads. Streets that are narrow, steep or shaded receive special attention, as do those streets scheduled for next-day solid waste collection. Please be patient and allow sufficient time for snow operations to be implemented. Your safety and well-being are our highest concerns. The DPW is committed to rapid completion of plowing and salting along major roads and residential streets, which in turn means more rapid return of normal traffic flow and earlier resumption of solid waste collection.
Parking Ban
To facilitate snow removal, an overnight street parking ban is in effect from November 15 - April 1 on all Village streets. Vehicles that remain on the street will be ticketed, fined and/or towed at the owner's expense. We understand that parking is sometimes a problem in certain areas in the Village. However, when vehicles are left in the street it makes it very difficult for our plows to travel around them. It causes snow to pile up in unwanted areas and streets cannot properly be cleared.
