The York Township Department of Public Works in Dallastown, PA is dedicated to ensuring the safety of the traveling public by providing effective winter maintenance services. They have a well-organized winter maintenance program that divides all township roads into routes, with each route assigned to an operator equipped with the necessary equipment. Priority routes, including snow emergency roads, are treated with liquid salt brine to lower the freezing point of water. In the event of a snow emergency, the department declares it and enforces regulations to ensure the smooth flow of traffic on designated routes.
It is important to note that the department does not perform winter maintenance on state roads, which are maintained by PennDOT. Property owners are advised that the department will not compensate for any damage caused to mailboxes or other objects in the road right-of-way during snow removal. To minimize the impact of snow removal on driveways, it is recommended to wait until plowing is complete before shoveling and to clear a spot upstream of the driveway to allow the snow from plows to unload before reaching the driveway.
