Please Help Keep Pittsfield Residents, Visitors, and Town Workers Safe
• Keep Trash Containers Out of The Town Highway
Make sure trash containers are safely on your property and not in the town highway. Winter and summer road maintenance is difficult when trash containers are in the road.
• Depositing Snow onto Town Highways is Prohibited
Persons are prohibited from plowing or depositing snow onto the traveled way, shoulder or sidewalk of a town highway. (23 V.S.A. § 1126a)
• Give Working Highway Equipment Plenty of Room
Please keep our workers safe. Be patient and give them plenty of room.
• Keep Wild Chervil Off Town Road Surface
Throwing uprooted wild chervil onto gravel roads can actually spread wild chervil. Once the flowers have set, the seeds can still form even if the entire plant is removed from the ground. Tire, shoes and animals may then pick up the seeds and spread them around. The uprooted chervil plant on the gravel road can also interfere with the road maintenance equipment. It can get caught on the grader blade and get pushed along the surface, causing grooves in the road. The plants in the road will also eventually compost, reducing the integrity of the gravel road surface. The Upper White River CWMA offers viable solutions for disposal of the wild chervil.
