Getting the snow out of downtown has been a chore this winter.
Concord brought in trucks and front-loaders to haul snowbanks away from Main Street three times during the month of January, which saw a total snowfall of 20 inches, twice that of January, 2024.
The city takes snow removed from Concord streets to the “snow depot” on Old Turnpike Road.
This winter, the city bought more than 6,500 tons of treated salt for road maintenance, according to Angelina Zulkic, communications coordinator for General Services. With about 2,500 tons in the salt barn, Concord is “nearing the end of our season budget,” she said.
More snow is expected this week.
