TOWN OF BARTLETT
PUBLIC NOTICE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TOWN WINTER REGULATIONS
The Selectmen want to remind residents of the town winter regulations:
- No parking is allowed on any town roads and cars will be fined and towed if they are blocking snow removal or emergency vehicle access. This parking ban is on 24 hrs. a day seven days a week from November 1 until May 1 each year.
- You may not plow or snow blow across or into a town road. This leaves humps and ruts in the road and creates a safety problem for the snowplow operators.
- As a courtesy to our residents, there is a sand/salt mixture pile available at the Town Hall for Bartlett residents to pick up a bucket or two for their dooryards only. It is not meant to be used to maintain long driveways. It is located to the right of the salt shed and there is an orange sign. Commercial operators are NOT allowed to take this. Under no circumstances should anyone be taking salt (which is in the shed) or accessing the large sand pile due to safety and access reasons. All sand is the same and has salt mixed in. Please use the front driveway for access in order to stay out of the way of the highway crew that may be working in the side and rear areas of the property.
- The town is not liable for any damage to objects that are placed within the town’s right-of-way such as mailboxes, fences, etc.
- If there is a prediction of rain as part of the storm, some roads may not be totally plowed so that it can soak up the rain to avoid freezing. If they plow and then we get freezing rain, the road turns into a skating rink.
- We may also experience a truck being down and needing repairs. We will get the truck back on the road as soon as possible.
Your cooperation in complying with our regulations, staying out of the way of our plow trucks, staying home unless you absolutely must go out, and patience is appreciated.
