The Village maintains approximately 88 lane miles of roads which includes repairs, sweeping, plowing and salting, and brush/leaf pickup. A Road Replacement Program consisting of $200,000 plus annually has been implemented specifically for the purpose of road reconstruction. Sidewalk Maintenance The Department of Public Works plows Village sidewalks as a courtesy. They clear the "school route" first, then expand out if time permits. However, according to the Village Code, the property owner is responsible for cleaning the sidewalk. The Village provides a Hazardous Sidewalk Replacement Program to encourage property owners to replace sections of hazardous sidewalk by funding 50% of the cost of replacement at a pre-determined maximum price per block. Brush & Leaf Pickup The Village picks up brush in the spring and fall. This includes tree limbs (up to 6" diameter), leaves, grass clippings and shrub trimmings; but will not pick up dirt, boards, logs, cardboard, furniture, paper or metal items. Residents are required to place the debris at the curb, not in the road. There is an area at the Operations Center on Wood Lane designated for residents to drop off brush after working hours and weekends.  Tree Maintenance
Another responsibility of the DPW is the trimming, removal and replacement of Village trees that are located in the Village right-of-way. Trees are generally trimmed and removed in the fall and winter; and new trees planted in the spring.  Parks
Within the Village of Newark, there are 10 parks for residents to enjoy. These parks are well maintained by the DPW and are located at every corner of the Village. The Department further maintains both the Erie Canal area and trails.
