In January, Bethlehem Township's Public Works crew had already responded to snow events on 12 different days. That was before the heavy stuff and frigid temperatures came in February.

"We have gone through a tremendous amount of salt this year," Public Works Director Richard Grube laments in his January report.

He cautions everyone that, though road crews lay down salt, they do not plow until there are 3-4 inches on the ground. He adds that they prioritize cleaning the curbs at school bus stops.

If you think you have to clear a lot of sidewalk, Bethlehem Township's crew is responsible for 9,500 linear feet.

Between snow storms, the road crew did attempt to patch some of the potholes that come with winter weather. They also found the time to install the much-desired four-way stop at the intersection of Chester Avenue and Santee Road.
