Town Notes Basketball Pole Locations Presents Conflicts
Dear Resident,
The Highway Department would like to remind you of the possible hazard a
portable basketball pole can present when placed on the side of the roadway. The hoop
that extends into the travel lane can cause damage to passing vehicles and equipment.
Please be sure that the structure is placed well off the roadway as not to interfere with
passing traffic. Now that the winter season has arrived, we also remind residents to
remove these poles entirely, as they interfere with snow operations.
Another obstacle that the Snow plows face is the placement of garbage along the
roadway. We are responsible for clearing the snow back to the curb and the garbage
containers should be placed accordingly.
Lastly we would like to remind residents not to let children play in the snow
embankments on the side of the road. Although they make an attractive recreation area,
the drivers cannot see the presence of a small child playing, especially if it is snowing.
Thank you again for your cooperation in keeping our roadways safe.
Kevin J Kelly
