Discussion: The Street Department currently utilizes 7 sidewalk tractors as front line vehicles
for clearing the sidewalks after snow events. There are 2 older units kept as spares
in the event of mechanical breakdowns.
The planned replacement purchase of a new MT7 Trackless Tractor will come
equipped with a high volume snow blower and spreader attachment to ireat the
sidewalks after clearing. This Trackless will be replacing the current Mclean
sidewalk tractor #10-055 which will be moved into a backline capacity. Old
backline trackless #97-178 will be traded towards the purchase as it is in need of
major repairs.
