Snow is cleared from sidewalks in downtown Wilmington in accordance to guidelines outlined in the contract held with the contractor doing the work.
The Contractor will make every effort to remove all snow obstructions within 24 hours of end of snowfall.
Contractor will remove snow from sidewalks during daytime hours if accumulation reaches 2-4”, or if requested by town. Typically, one side of the road will be cleared during a large storm so that pedestrians have a place to walk safely, and the other side will be done when the storm is over.
The Contractor will remove snow if there is a minimum depth of 3-inches from all town sidewalks, including the sidewalks in front of Pettee Memorial Library on South Main Street and at the Public Safety Facility on Beaver Street between the hours of 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.
The night time hours are to help minimize machinery being in the road way during heavily trafficked day time hours.
