The next tentative steps are going to be all of the blocks with angle parking as well as the very narrow portion of East Abbott Street.

The borough’s Public Works Department will concentrate on the areas in town that are known problems due to the narrowness of the streets and the related parking design on those streets. These are: blocks with angle parking, narrow streets, hills and intersections.

The borough is bringing additional crews and equipment to accomplish much of this simultaneously. If things are going smoothly it is possible more streets could be added faster than expected.

Due to the extreme amount of snow received, and the need to get streets open and widened as quickly as possible, it will be necessary for the removal crews to make snow piles in various areas throughout the borough. Every effort will be made to make sure that these piles are done in the best areas possible. The piles will be removed as soon as possible.
