Storm Clean-Up

Bayside is estimated to have received nearly 16 inches of snow this week. A huge thanks goes out to the Village DCUS crew; Rich, Scott, Dave, Dennis, and Bryan for working around the clock to ensure that Village streets were clear.  As everybody continues to dig out from the storm, Crews will be continuing their clean-up operations to ensure streets remain clear and safe. 

 

The Village would like to thank all residents for their cooperation and patience during the snow clean-up operations.
