The County implements an annual roadside mowing program to reduce and remove roadside vegetation. This program increases the visibility of wildlife in proximity to the roadways, prevents snow trapping in the winter, and reduces road maintenance as reduced vegetation allows for quicker surface drying.
Roadside Mowing Schedule
To manage costs, the County mows different wards in alternating years: i.e.: Wards 1, 2, 3, and 4 will be mowed in 2024 with Wards 5, 6, and 7 being mowed in 2025.
Mowing typically runs from June 20th to September 30th, extending into October if needed for drainage ditches. The schedule varies based on County projects, so areas may be delayed due to projects in the mowing area.
