The Department of Public Works (DPW) consists of three full-time and various part-time/seasonal staff members. This highly dedicated crew is responsible for maintaining the City streets, sidewalks, and public right-of-ways. This includes keeping City roadways and sidewalks clear of snow and ice.
The City of Roosevelt Park is known for its exceptional snowplowed streets and sidewalks and our snowplow operators are committed to snow removal to ensure safe travel routes for all.
December 1st through April 1st
The ordinance that regulates Terrace Parking & Snow Removal states that no person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle on any improved, defined and marked parking lane or bike path from 2 a.m. until 6 a.m. Nor shall any person stop, stand or park a vehicle on any terrace within three feet of any street or one foot of any sidewalk.
Please Don’t Crowd the Plow!
The DPW is also responsible for installing all municipal water meters and maintaining the municipal water and sewer system. To view the Annual Water Quality Report click here.
