BARNSTABLE – The Town of Barnstable has updated the DPW’s procedures and road-clearing priorities during different kinds of weather events.
The DPW has issued a new brochure for Snow and Ice Standards of Service to help the public understand expectations and timelines of the DPW’s snow removal efforts during and after a storm.
It offers a detailed breakdown of the DPW’s response to each category of storm. It also includes which routes are prioritized, time frames for when secondary road clearing begins, and whether a parking ban goes in effect.
Category A is the most common kind of weather event, with snow accumulation of 2” – 18” over the course of 24 hours. Category B is less common, with accumulation of 18” – 24” over 24 hours and Category C is an unusually intense storm, with accumulations greater than 2 feet.
