The Public Works Director would like to remind everyone that it is the property owner’s responsibility to clear the sidewalks of snow and ice as described by Town Ord. No. 25 Removal of Snow and Ice (§ 185-1).
Also, it is crucial that all Main Street business owners not use rock salt on the Main Street sidewalks, as the rock salt will damage the sidewalks. Main Street business owners need to use Safe Step Ice Melt or other comparable ice melts that specify “safe for concrete, brick and stone”.
The Public Works Department is responsible to remove snow from approximately seventy-two miles of town roadway. Snow being thrown by the plow blade can be forceful and the weight of the pushed snow can cause damage to a mailbox. If it is determined a mailbox was struck directly by the
snowplow, the Town will replace the existing mailbox with a standard mailbox and post. Standard mailbox replacement consists of a black metal mailbox. Post replacement will be a pressure treated post.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL A MAILBOX OR POST BE CONSIDERED FOR REPLACEMENT IF:
your cooperation.
