The town's chief administrative officer, Brent Williams, talked about the snow clearing plan during town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Monday.
He urged residents to be cognizant when parking.
“We will not be ticketing and towing on red routes, but obviously everyone is happier if there’s no vehicles with snowbanks around them, so FYI (for your information),” he said.
Williams said crews basically plowed boulevards on Monday.
