Road Maintenance in Milestone

Our Public Works Department is dedicated to ensuring the safety and accessibility of our town’s streets through comprehensive snow removal, street sweeping, and road maintenance programs.

Snow Removal

Snow clearing operations commence within 18 hours, or sooner, following a major winter weather event, once visibility has cleared and it is safe for public works and residents. The clearing process follows this prioritized order:

1. Areas 1, 2, and 3: These areas are cleared as soon as it is safe to do so.
2. Areas 4 and 5: Typically, two passes per road are done initially, with trimming out to the curb completed later.
3. Trouble Areas: Subject to change based on snow load and wind conditions, as determined by the foreman.
4. Safety Considerations: Snow clearing ceases when visibility and/or proximity to persons or property becomes unsafe.
5. Park Ave: The grader clears Park Ave. when possible.

Your cooperation in removing vehicles from municipal roads during snow-clearing operations is greatly appreciated.

Street Sweeping

Street sweeping operations are conducted as needed, typically performed at least twice during the spring and fall seasons to maintain clean and debris-free streets.

Road Maintenance

Major maintenance of town streets occurs annually, with staff identifying large portions of streets that require the most work. The approved budget is utilized to repair these areas. Additionally, spot treatments, such as filling potholes, are done as needed. Regular road maintenance, including mowing, is performed throughout the town to ensure well-kept and safe streets for all residents.

By diligently maintaining our roads, we aim to provide a safe and pleasant environment for all who live in and visit Milestone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
