- Maintaining and installing traffic control and delineation devices (signs, line and zone striping, etc.) on the County Road System.
- Maintaining and repairing the Highway Department's fleet of vehicles and construction equipment.
- Storing 4,700± tons of salt in Stony Point and Pomona for snow and ice removal.
- Removing trees from the county's right-of-way that are dead, dying, weakened or impeding sight distances on a county road.
- Maintaining and/or landscaping vegetated areas within the county's right-of-way.
Some reminders for our customers, the traveling public:
- Give snowplows enough room to work and stay far enough behind the plow so the operator can see your vehicle in one of the rear-view mirrors on his vehicle.
- Do not push snow from your property onto a road. This could create a hazard and you could be held liable if the snow you pushed onto a road causes an accident.
