Town Plows Private Road

The private road I live on in M'boro is plowed by the town. Years ago, a private contractor, paid by the town, did the road plowing. He offered each resident along the private road a yearly plowing contract for a reasonable fee. Sometimes road and driveways were done at the same time, other times not. These days, the town owned truck plows and sands the roads. Since over 70% of the taxable property value in town is shoreline, and much of the shoreline is accessed via private roads, it makes sense that the town provides this as a service. They do not maintain the private roads, but keep them accessible to emergency services, along with the residents. Its one of the nice features of the town. Now if it would only snow again so they could plow some more!!
