Highway Department
The Town provides snow & ice control to promote safe vehicular
travel during the winter months. Snow removal efforts include snow
plowing and, when necessary in congested areas, loading snow into
trucks to be hauled away. Town crews plow main roads first, and then
the secondary roads. There is no parking allowed on the streets of the
Town of Union after two inches of new snow has fallen. All vehicles
left on roadways will be ticketed and/or towed at the owners risk and expense.
Chapter 214 of Town Highway Law allows for a $100.00 penalty for
depositing snow and ice on any road or highway.
In addition, Highway Law, Section 319, Article 11, states that
municipalities are not responsible for damage to any mailboxes.
