You may have noticed our Highway crews out last week shelving the snowbanks. We
shelf/bench the snowbanks to make more room for future snowfall. By doing this, future
snowfall has a place to unload, and it also improves sight
distance, especially at intersections.
You will see our crews out shelving the banks when the temps
are warmer, to take advantage of the snowmelt. When the temps
drop, the snowbanks will freeze solid, making shelving difficult.
For residents that have snow stakes placed along the roadway,
stakes may become vulnerable and subject to damage from
shelving. The Town does not repair or replace damaged stakes
placed in the Town’s right-of-way by homeowners.

If a resident chooses to place snow stakes along the roadway, we
ask that they refrain from using metal stakes, as fiberglass stakes are more conducive to the
snow removal process. Thank you!

     household chemicals, up and out of sight and
     reach of children.

     ensure accurate test results.
 •   When finished with the kit, throw away
     immediately.
 •   Contact the Upstate New York Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222 with any questions or
     concerns.

 Remember, the Upstate New York Poison Center is the call to make for all things poison. In the case of a

Friends of Webster Trails:
A popular resolution people make
 this time of year is to be more
 active. That can happen in so
      many different ways.

                                  A low maintenance method to incorporate
                                    this can be through trail exploration!
                                  Whether it be walking, running, biking, etc.
                                          FWT has got you covered!
