STREET SWEEPING

The Town has awarded a contract for the supply of street sweeping services to pickup winter sand from all municipal streets. This work is scheduled to begin on or about April 26, 2011 and will be completed by May 21, 2011.

Residents should be aware of the following:

• all hard surfaced municipal streets will be done;

• the contractor will be working evenings;

• the contractor will not be working on Sundays;

• the contractor will on occasion leave a street to dump sand but will return to complete the street;

• the contractor is responsible to provide dust control while operating street sweeping equipment.

Residents may assist as follows:

• please do not sweep road sand into piles and leave piles on the road as they create a dangerous hazard to motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists;

• please do not park on the roadway when street sweeping is in progress; if a parked car impedes the street sweeper the vehicle may be towed away at the owner’s expense;

• please try not to place garbage bags on the paved roadway on collection days as it will impede street sweeping;

• if you believe the work done on your street is not satisfactory, please call 738-6422 and leave a message about your street; your street will be inspected and re-swept if the contractor’s work is not satisfactory to the Town;

• please do not sweep sand into ditches as it contributes to water drainage problems.

You may contact the Town Works Department at 738-6422 if you have any concerns or comments regarding street sweeping.
