When snow and ice are in the forecast, Highland Public Works shifts into high gear – first with the road application of brine that is followed by salt. Plows pick up where salting ends. Public Works Director Mark Knesek said residents can help by getting their vehicles off the street.
Highland Police Chief Pete Hojnicki is reminding residents to move vehicles off all streets when measurable snowfall is predicted. The Council increased the threshold for tickets and fines to 2 inches of snow. “The ordinance was created to keep our police, fire and EMS workers along with our school bus drivers and the students they are carrying safe,” Hojnicki said. “We are all in this together. The best thing we can all do is follow the rules and be good neighbors.”
