This Department consists of three separate entities; The Street Department, The Storm Sewer Department, and the Sign Department. The responsibilities of the Street Department are many, including street repair, filling potholes, curb repair, salting and plowing during the snow season, landscape repair, and various other work around the city. The Department consists of a five man crew, five 2 1/2 ton dump trucks for salting and plowing, three utility pickup trucks, a small dump truck for patching, a loader, a backhoe, and a blacktop roller. There is in excess of 81 miles of road in the City. The responsibilities of the Storm Sewer Department include; catch basin repairs and rebuilds, and any problems that develop with the underground storm sewer system. This could include repairing and replacing old or collapsed storm pipe, or the clean out of clogged pipes in the system. The Department consists of the same five man crew that are in the Street Department, who work back and forth in each Department. The equipment available in the Storm Sewer Department includes: a 2 1/2 ton block truck for catch basin work, a Whirlwind street sweeper, and any of the Street Department equipment when necessary. The responsibilities of the Sign Department include; installing and repairing street name signs, all traffic signs, and traffic lights within the city. The Department also paints intersection crosswalks and caution signs around all of the North Canton schools. It is also responsible for construction detour traffic control and accident cleanup. This Department consists of one man, a bucket truck, a panel sign truck, and a sign making machine. As with each of the other two Departments, additional manpower is available from the other Departments as necessary. Have questions, comments or suggestions for North Canton's Street Department? |
