Snow and Ice Control


The first Friday in November to the last Friday in March is officially “snow season” for the Village Public Works team.


The Village is responsible for removing snow and ice from 160 miles of roadway, 272 culs-de-sac and 80 miles of sidewalk along with 18 parking lots that service Village facilities, the central business district, the Glen Town Center and two commuter train stations.


Plowing operations are initiated after 1 to 2 inches of snow have fallen or as conditions warrant. Depending on weather conditions and information from the Village's weather forecasting service, snow/ice removal operations may begin sooner.


The Public Works Department strives to respond with salting and/or plowing before roads become slippery for vehicle travel. For an average snow event, the Public Works Department will complete a plowing operation in 5 to 6 hours.
