Safety:
Please do not allow your children to build tunnels in the snow banks near the road.
Please give our plow trucks plenty of room when approaching and following them. They are very large, and their view is often obstructed by the plow equipment itself. While plowing snow, they are considered “emergency vehicles” and abide by those traffic laws.
Winter Street Parking:
According to Town of Manlius Code 139-11, Parking is prohibited on all Town Roads November 1st to April 15th, from 1:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m.
Mailboxes:
To report a mailbox concern, please call the highway department at 656-3090.
Sometimes we inadvertently hit a mailbox or the weight of the snow will damage the box or post. Call the highway office at 656-3090 to report it and we will make arrangements to assess the damage. If we find it is our responsibility, the Town will come to your residence and fix your mailbox so you can receive mail. Sometimes this will have to be a temporary fix until time and weather permits a permanent repair. Occasionally, it may be necessary to make arrangements with the post office to hold your mail until we can deal with your mailbox repair.
Standard mailbox replacement consists of a black metal mailbox. Post replacement will be a pressure treated post.
Mailboxes are erected in the Town right of way, and we perform this service as a courtesy to our residents.
