Last updated: Thursday, February 13th, 2025
Current Challenges:
- Weather Impact: Light snowfall
- Resources in Action: Town crews have been out grading snow and ice on the local streets to improve mobility.
- Prioritization of Routes: Our focus is on main roads, emergency routes, and high-traffic areas before residential streets.
What to Expect:
- Crews are currently working on:
Thursday, February 13, 2025, at 9:00 am, all avenues and hills are completed for snow removal. Sidewalks and trails have also been cleared as of yesterday. Today/Tomorrow town crews will be clearing the cul-de-sacs starting on the north end of town and continuing to Battle West and Battle Springs.
- Estimated Timeframes: Continuation of monitoring, blading, and sanding as needed.
- Reminder: Operators will go around vehicles where possible, however, some streets will be skipped and returned to later as street parking prohibits access. The Town encourages people to move vehicles off the street after a snowfall. Snow and ice will be stored in parking areas where available.
