CARY’S A-TEAM HITS THE STREETS WITH PLOWS
Motorists encouraged to delay driving as long as possible
CARY, NC – With several inches of snow on the ground and more falling, the Town of Cary’s Snow Fighters are out in full force plowing the community’s main roads. Please do not park on streets so that plows and other Town equipment can service the area. There have been two storm-related traffic accidents reported thus far in Cary, neither with serious injuries.
“Despite the great job our folks are doing with the plows, the roads are very slick, and we’re encouraging everyone to stay put this morning for as long as they can,” said Public Works Director Mike Bajorek.
The Town’s 180 A-Team Snow Fighters have 58 pieces of snow-fighting equipment available to clear Cary’s 450 miles of roads, about 100 miles of which are state-maintained roads. The Town also has 2,500 tons of sand/salt mix on hand along with an additional 700 tons of pure salt available. Crew’s clear thoroughfares first followed by primary roads in subdivisions, then through-streets in subdivisions, and then cul-de-sacs. The Town does not clear private parking lots, including those in apartment and condominium complexes or at businesses.
