DPW Notices: Road widening & Holiday trash pick up

Pending winter storms for today and this Sunday / Monday have heightened the concern for further narrowing of roadway widths. Further narrowing of roadways could affect emergency apparatus access and, at the very least, will slow delivery of regular services like trash removal, oil deliveries, and normal movement of neighborhood traffic.

Sub-zero temperatures and extended extreme cold are forecast for the next few days, which will turn snow banks ROCK-AS-SOLID, rendering them immovable.

The DPW will begin widening of roadways immediately and will continue throughout the day on Friday.

We apologize for this great inconvenience as this operation will cause folks to have to shovel-out their driveways (yet again). However, the widening operation is necessary given the extraordinary snow accumulation and the need to improve public safety access throughout the remained of this winter season.

Please be advised that the new Solid Waste collection schedule will no longer have delays due to the George Washington’s Birthday holiday occurring on a Monday February, 16, 2015.

Please Remember that if a holiday occurs on a Monday, Tuesday or Friday there will be regular collections for that week on Wednesday and Thursday, (NO DELAYS). If a Holiday occurs on a Thursday all collections will occur on Wednesday the day before the holiday.

    I fully support making our streets safer….but widening the roads has caused some of the sidewalks to get blocked. So now pedestrians have to walk on the road. Not sure this is safer. Getting kids to and from bus stops is pretty horrific right now.
