Snow removal

Riverhead Highway Superintendent Mike Zaleski said highway crews will be removing snow piles from Pulaski Street in Polish Town Tuesday morning, beginning at 7 a.m.

Portions of Main Street in Riverhead will be closed Sunday morning for snow removal, Riverhead Highway Superintendent Mike Zaleski said.

Pulaski Street between Osborn and Marcy avenues is closed this morning for snow removal, Riverhead Highway Superintendent Mike Zaleski said this morning.

Riverhead Highway Department crews are clearing snow from Pulaski Street today. Portions of the road are closed down while snow clearing is taken place, so motorists should use an alternate route.

If your house were on fire, which hydrant would you want firefighters to rely on for water? Local fire chiefs urge residents and businesses to dig out nearby hydrants.

Tougher codes for snow emergencies would criminalize disobeying closed-road orders, clarify property owners' responsibilities for clearing sidewalks and make commercial property owners responsible for clearing bus shelters and access to them.

Riverhead officials are again discussing lack of compliance with the town code requirements for snow clearing. The current penalty provided by code is not high enough to be a deterrent, they say.

East Main Street will be closed to vehicular traffic today between Peconic/Roanoke and Union avenues for snow removal operations by town highway department crews,

The weather service is watching a storm system that may bring 6+ inches of snow to LI Sunday night, as snow removal continues from this week's blizzard.
