Hackensack NJ, as Bergen County braces for Sunday’s anticipated snowstorm, Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco and his team are working diligently to ensure the region is ready for whatever Mother Nature brings. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how the County is gearing up to keep roads safe and clear for residents.
Bergen County’s Snow Removal Plan
🔹 Fleet Powerhouse
Bergen County boasts a fleet of over 100 snowplows, salt trucks, and specialized vehicles designed to handle diverse needs. From clearing major County roads to maintaining parks, the fleet is equipped to tackle snow removal with precision.
🔹 Dedicated Workforce
Approximately 100 County employees are on call for snow events, with operations running on 12-hour shifts to maintain around-the-clock coverage. This coordinated effort includes staff from the Department of Public Works (DPW), Parks, and Public Safety.
🔹 Serving Municipalities
The County provides snow removal services for seven contracted towns, in addition to clearing snow from all County-owned parks and facilities. For municipalities not directly served, Bergen County DPW supplies salt to ensure County roads are treated with brine and salt mixtures.
Proactive Measures for Resident Safety
This robust snow removal operation highlights Bergen County’s commitment to public safety. By coordinating resources and staff effectively, the County ensures minimal disruption during winter storms.
