Department of Public Works
Division of Highway
We are responsible for maintaining approximately 316 centerline miles of Town roads which equates to 1,373 town owned roads. These responsibilities include snow removal and ice control, paving and the maintenance of roads, signage, roadway markings, drainage, tree and brush cutting and removal within the Town's right of way, and the disposal of non-domestic dead animals.
WE HAVE INFORMATION ON:
The Highway Division operates the yard waste / brush pick up program from early-April through approximately early December, weather permitting.
One of the Division's major responsibilities during the winter season is to keep the Town roads clear of snow and ice. We utilize our own work force and outside contractors to accomplish this task. We also ask the cooperation of Town residents in keeping the roads clear of vehicles and portable basketball hoops in order to do the best job possible while plowing and sanding. Also please note that no snow from a driveway or parking lot should be deposited on a town road.
The Division is also responsible for collecting holiday trees. The trees will be collected, weather permitting, from January 2nd until all trees have been picked up, but no later than the last Friday in February.
To report pot holes and/or street paving issues, please call (518) 783-2795
