Road/Highway Department

The Selectmen and Road Manager would like to remind everyone of the following ordinance. All right of ways include ditches and sides of the road (snow from driveways can not be added.) There has been a problem in years past as well as this year and the ordinance will be enforced.

"Within the Town of Kensington, it shall be unlawful for any person to put or place or cause to be put or placed any snow or ice up any town roadway including all right of ways thereof. Town departments may be excluded from this requirement when in compliance with their official duties. Violation of this section may result in a penalty not to exceed $500.00 and /or cost incurred in removing said obstruction."

Town Rights-of-Way

All residents are reminded to contact the town hall if they are planning any activities or excavations within the town's right-of-ways. The right-of-way extends beyond the pavement for drainage purposes, etc., and may very somewhat from road to road. It's a good idea to check ahead and make sure that your project won't be impacted.
