At a board meeting in February Village Manager Janine King cited some eye-opening statistics about what Croton’s DPW crews have to deal with when a major snowstorm blankets the village. Here are the highlights:
- For a major storm the DPW starts planning more than a day in advance.
- Before the snow even begins to fall a brine solution is sprayed on road ways to prevent the snow from sticking to the asphalt surface.
- Croton’s DPW crews clean 75 lane-miles of state, county and village roads—an area of 4.3 million square feet.
- The village-owned Metro-North parking lot is an additional 800,000 square feet and the snow there must be trucked off the site to free up all parking spaces for the public. READ AND SEE MORE HERE https://www.facebook.com/crotonunited/posts/756019421221758
We were actually able to get out of the house briefly yesterday after the snow stopped thanks to the DPW. Roads in the village were exceptional and the country highways very passable, not so good in the Town itself and other areas.
