What is the difference between a primary and secondary snow route?
Primary routes are the main roadways in the township, including all school bus routes, roads required for emergency vehicle access, and any street leading to a health care facility. Main-entrance roadways leading from developments also are designated as primary routes.

Secondary routes are side streets and cul-de-sacs in residential developments, along with sparsely populated residential streets and less traveled country roads.

Public Works regards all roads in the township as equally important but prioritizes primary routes.
