Tell Us: Driving, Parking Around Northport

Are people doing a good job navigating the snow piles?

A few roads remain slushy, but Northport Village and Huntington Town trucks have largely cleared the main streets. Now, the question of what to do with those small mountains of snow lining the side of the road.

Mayor George Doll said Monday that dump trucks, back hoes, and payloaders are out in full force methodically removing snow piles. In East Northport, town dump trucks were also seen working on snow piles.

The large drifts, which have narrowed streets, eliminated turning lanes, erased parking spots, buried cars and decreased visibility on turns, pose a lingering danger. They've turned the familiar landscape on its head, and, at the very least, present a major inconvenience.
