Why do the DPW vehicles need to be stored inside?
The current design of the new facility has most of the DPW vehicles and equipment stored inside. This will increase safety for the employees, reduce the winter response time in emergencies, reduce outside noise in the neighborhood, and will increase operational efficiency. For more detailed information please click through to the Weston and Sampson Vehicle Storage Memo and more extensive list of reasons for inside storage which also includes comments to DPW Director Bill Hadley from DPW directors around the country about this issue.
