Winter Parking Restrictions

In order to help snowplow operators, the Town is reminding residents about winter parking restrictions.

Overnight parking is prohibited on all Town roads from November 15 through March 31, between the hours of 12 a.m. and 6 a.m. and at all times during snow emergencies.

The Public Works Department would also like resident cooperation during winter months by not keeping vehicles on the streets when snow is expected; as plowing around parked vehicles can be dangerous and time consuming.

The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department's Feature Friday

Each Friday, the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department features something new for residents and visitors to learn more about. Throughout these cold months we'll be sharing a series of meet the staff features, so keep your eye out! You met Jeff a couple weeks ago and this week we want you to meet Shawn!

Shawn started working for the Town of Greenville right after high school as a seasonal employee. He continued to work for the Parks Department while going to Fox Valley Technical College to earn his degree in Horticulture. In total, he has worked for Greenville for almost 9 years. Shawn has also worked in the Parks and Recreation field for the City of Menasha and Village of Fox Crossing. His favorite parts of the job are being able to work outdoors and at many different locations. He is passionate about improving and beautifying the things that are often overlooked and takes pride in being able to look around at projects he’s helped create and construct.

Fun facts about Shawn: when he was a kid, he wanted to be a teacher when he grew up. In his free time, Shawn likes to be outdoors hunting and fishing and working on his Camaro.

Fire Hydrants & Snow

Don't let your neighborhood hydrant remain 'undercover' this winter!

Snowfall, combined with frozen plowed snow bury fire hydrants under large amounts of compacted snow, thus making them difficult to find and use in an emergency.

We are asking that you help us by keeping the fire hydrant closest to your home or business clear of snow.  Snow should be removed about three feet (3') away from the hydrant in all directions and a pathway cleared between the hydrant and the nearest roadway.

Public Works Reminds Residents to Secure Mailboxes for Snow Season

The Department of Public Works is reminding residents to inspect their mailboxes and posts to ensure it is installed properly during the winter snow season.

The department has illustrative instructions on how to properly install a mailbox. The following URL has more information including the Town's replacement policy and the damage claim form: https://bit.ly/33J9uVr

Properly installed mailboxes and posts will only be repaired/replaced if they are hit and damaged by a Town snowplow. The Town of Greenville does not replace mailboxes or posts installed incorrectly or which are damaged by flying snow or other vehicles hitting them.
