The Street Department will determine its route as needed.

Snow Removal: The Trail Creek Street Department snow removal policy is as follows: All main roads and fire routes, north/south and east/west are plowed first, followed by secondary roads. The Street Department then clears access areas for residents receiving Meals on Wheels or Visiting Nurses services. If residents are handicapped or unable to clear large amounts of snow, call the Town Hall at 872-2422 and request to be put on the list for access clearing.
