Snow Plow Plan
Updated November 2025
Plowing will begin at 4:00 a.m. unless an earlier start time is needed to keep up with the conditions.
Major streets (Third Avenue, Pontaluna Road, Park Street, and Bridge Street) will be plowed beginning at 4:00 a.m. During the last pass on major roads, road salt will be applied unless a continuous storm occurs in which salt will only be applied to intersections and hills until the storm passes. After the storm has passed all major streets will be fully salted.
Remaining through streets will be plowed after all major streets are completed. After all through streets have been plowed, salt will be applied unless a continuous storm occurs in which salt will only be applied to intersections and hills until the storm passes. After the storm has passed all roads will be fully salted.
Dead end streets– all dead-end streets will be plowed and salted if needed after all major and local streets are completed.
With Icy conditions with less than two inches of snow, all major and local roads will be salted. If temperatures fall below the road salt working threshold, a salt/sand combination will be used.
All Sidewalks will be cleared of snow Monday-Saturday as time allows at the DPW supervisor’s discretion due to efforts of snow removal on roads.
Pomona Park 4th Street parking lot will be plowed after all streets have been plowed of accumulation and are operational.
Boat launch and Kayak Launch Parking Lot will be plowed Monday-Friday when time allows after all other plowing has been completed.
Snow Drift- Large snow drifts will take precedence and be cleared after all major roads are cleared of accumulation.
Road Shoulders– all roads will be widened from snow accumulation upon the full completion of storms.

Zoning Administrator
Local control of the use of land (with some exceptions, such as state and federal land uses) is an accepted legal principle. Land use is controlled through the separation of land into various use areas, called zoning districts. The rules governing these districts are contained in a zoning ordinance which includes provisions controlling the type and intensity of development allowed.
The current Zoning Ordinance was approved on November 18, 2019.
