PEABODY, MA - With the first measurable snow of the season looking to be on its way, the city of Peabody has a new brochure that addresses many snow emergency and plowing questions.

“Removing snow and ice from Peabody’s 170 miles of public roads is a formidable task,” stated Mayor Ted Bettencourt. ”It involves coordination of private and city owned plows, mechanics, dispatchers, and route supervisors. The hours can be very long, with operations conducted during the most severe weather and driving conditions. We realize that an operation of such size and complexity is bound to generate complaints & requests for additional service.”

The brochure addresses many frequently asked questions about both plowing and city snow emergencies.

Some of those questions include who is responsible for shoveling sidewalks, what to do about fire hydrants, and what the snow emergency parking ban means.
