Public works outlines overnight snow-removal schedule; trustees ask for fall briefing
Summary
Public works described an overnight snow-removal regimen that uses a midnight-to-morning crew rotation, chain changes and staged equipment; trustees asked for a fuller briefing from the public works director in the fall and emphasized pedestrian safety on sidewalks.
Eric and public works staff outlined how the village organizes snow removal: crews prepare equipment (removing or fitting chains), deploy a loader and skid steer and operate overnight shifts (roughly midnight to 7 a.m.) to clear streets and sidewalks. Eric said the crew size is about 10 people and that safety and overtime management shape when and how long crews operate.
Trustees noted recent sidewalk hazards and asked that Greg Fulton return with a fuller presentation in October or November to walk through the process and gather feedback. One trustee recounted seeing a pedestrian slip trying to traverse a berm and emphasized the importance of timely clearing of sidewalks near schools.
