The department maintains most of Greenfield’s nearly 94 miles roadway, overseeing road repairs and improvements; winter snow and ice removal; and roadway safety features such as signs, striping and guard rails for our roadway network. Additional responsibilities include roadside vegetation control, roadside litter pick-up, drainage repairs and improvements, and bridge maintenance. In addition, Greenfield’s Highway Department oversees all of our Town facilities, including Town buildings and parks.

Did you know 24 town roads have been adopted as part of our Adopt-a-Roadside Program? Our program began in 1994 to help the Greenfield Highway Department keep town roadways free of trash and protect Greenfield’s water resources.
The town provides program guidance, safety vests and trash bags to participating groups. In addition, designation signs are placed at each end of the adopted roads. If you are interested in adopting a road, or donating to the program, contact Town Hall (518) 893-7604, ext. 103 for more information.

In summer months our team will be working on road resurfacing, which includes culvert repair, ditch cleaning and paving. Please have patience while this work is going on, drive slowly and remember to be courteous to our workmen. Thank you. We want to make sure our crew and our residents stay safe!
Road resurfacing typically starts sometime beginning in May (weather permitting).
Our Highway Department would like to share the following useful information for residents to review each winter:
Thank you for your continued cooperation.
Greenfield typically holds Town Cleanup weekends twice a year to encourage townwide property cleanup. We hold one in the spring and one in the fall.
The cleanups provide residents with three days to bring items to the Highway Department garage at 409 Bockes Rd. Residents with a town resident card may drop off household items, furniture, light scrap metal, empty and dry paint cans, as well as computer equipment and electronics for recycling. No tires, household garbage, yard debris or hazardous wastes will be accepted. Resident cards can be obtained at Town Hall with a valid driver’s license and utility bill. Residents with tires to recycle can participate in Saratoga County’s Spring Tire Recycling program each year.
The specifications for the construction of Town Roads is detailed in the Town of Greenfield’s Town Code Ch 90, Attachment 4.
