Public Service Announcement: The Town of Lincoln 2021 Roadside Growth Maintenance Program has Begun

The Town of Lincoln provides roadside mowing along Town roadside shoulders three times a year.

The 2021 Proposed Schedule (Weather Permitting):

• First cut: Spring
• Second cut: Early Summer
• Third cut: Late Summer, Early Fall

The purpose of this program is to:

• Preserve driver and biker sight lines
• Allow for positive surface drainage from road to adjacent ditches
• Improve the overall appearance and tidiness of the roadside

Difference between first, second and third cuts:

• The first and second cuts include the front of the ditch only (from the centre of the ditch to the road's edge)
• The third cut includes the front AND back sides of the ditch (from the centre of the ditch to the slope of the ditch on the property owner’s side)

How wide is the cut?

• The width of the cut varies depending on how accessible the roadside is for the tractor, 5 to 12 feet.

For more information or questions please contact Town Hall and direct your inquiry to the Public Works Department.
