Road Maintenance

The streets are cleaned with different kinds of mechanical equipment. Maintenance frequency depends on the kind of activity, the type of street (main or secondary), density of the population and season.

Alleys are not maintained by the borough. The borough only packs down snow in winter and does not spread abrasives.

Potholes

Aging asphalt, repeated passage of vehicles, seepage of water beneath the pavement and temperature fluctuations contribute to the creation of potholes, particularly in the springtime. Road crews make repairs in the summer in preparation for the spring. Potholes are plugged with cold asphalt in the winter.

More information on parking regulations and the dynamic sign system may be found in the Street Parking Rules section.
