All property owners are responsible for snow removal on all
public sidewalks that abut their property. The Selectboard approves
a list of sidewalks where snow is removed by the DPW. However, these
sidewalks are typically done after the Town roads are plowed. Property
owners that abut sidewalks that are on the DPW sidewalk list are not
absolved of their responsibility for sidewalk maintenance. The Town's
snow and ice policies are shown in Appendix B.
The maintenance responsibilities for streets in South Hadley
are shown in Appendix C.
Each year, the DPW manages an "Adopt an Island" program where
individuals can volunteer to maintain a traffic island or other public
space. The rules and forms relating to this program are shown in Appendix
D.
