As such, the residents can help the snow removal process by making sure vehicles and other obstructions are off the thoroughfares in a weather event.

In the past, crews have not been able to clear a street because vehicles were prohibiting access into the area.

Crews will work to clear the passageways as quickly as possible.

Please understand that removing piles of snow from mailboxes and driveways is usually not possible. Patience is appreciated…
