Description

Hi, we always appreciate how hard the town works to clear the roads of snow and ice.

But, is it possible to use less sand?

We haven't had a big snowstorm yet and our streets looks like a beach. The problem is particularly bad on small side roads, where the sand truck drops sand going both ways on the street.

This sand stays in place and makes a general mess all winter, spring, and into the summer. I know the town comes by to sweep up the sand, but it's usually not enough and homeowners end up sweeping the streets.

Please consider this, especially for the small side-roads where there is very little traffic.
