Sherman Knight, Transportation Supervisor The Town of New Glasgow maintains 80 kilometers of roadways and sidewalks, cleans and maintains 1500 Catch Basins and provides full maintenance to a network of storm sewers throughout the Town of New Glasgow. Under a shared services agreement the department provides maintenance to 40 kilometers of roadways and sidewalks and 300 Catch Basins within the Town of Westville. The transportation department operates a fleet of graders, loaders, tandem and single axel trucks, one-ton trucks, half-ton trucks, street sweepers, vacuum trucks for Catch Basins and numerous other pieces of construction equipment. In the summer months, our crews are busy in cleaning our streets, building and maintaining our sidewalks and maintaining our sewer and storm sewer systems throughout the town. The department maintains an Asphalt Maintenance System, which prioritizes the streets for resurfacing and the sidewalks that will be repaired. Our winter operations utilize a Salt Management Plan with state of the art equipment that allow us to record the location and amount of salt used by other vehicles in our fleet. Through the use of skilled operators and modern equipment we are able to provide high level of service to our residents while reducing the amount of salt used on our streets. Below you will find snowplow routes as well as our latest Asphalt Rating System. Using these tools residents can find how their street compares to other streets within its category and the approximate time it would take from commencement of plowing, to have one’s street plowed.
