Sidewalk Snow Removal Policy - Reminder

The Selectmen asked that we send out this reminder about the sidewalk snow removal policy changes made last year. 

In the event of an accumulation of snow, the following streets will have the sidewalks cleared by the Town within a 24 hour period following the end of the storm to facilitate pedestrian traffic to and from the schools:

Central Street (Rte. 12 to Goodale Street)

Crescent Street (from Central Street to the High School)

Goodale Street (from Rte. 12 to the tennis courts)

Prospect Street (from Lower Goodale Street to Franklin Street)

Prospect St (from Woodland Street to the Worcester Line)

Franklin St. (from Worcester Street to Prospect Street)

Rte.12 (from Lower Goodale Street to Franklin Street)

Lower Newton Street (Across from the Library)

Bus Stops (Locations will be determined each August prior to the beginning of the school year.)

In the event of an accumulation of snow, the following streets will have the sidewalks cleared as soon as possible by the Town following the end of the storm (next possible regular work day):

Rte. 140 Temple St. (from Rte. 12 to just before the RR tracks)

Main St (Rte. 12) (from the RR bridge through the causeway to the north entrance to Beaman Street)

Sterling St (from Holt Street to Horseshoe Drive)

North Main St. (from Beaman Street to the Town line)

Library sidewalks and parking will be cleared before the next Library opening.

All other sidewalks will not be cleared by the Town.

Note:  Any sidewalk under 5 feet in width cannot be cleared with Town equipment.
