Street Department

The Melrose Street Department maintains nearly 3 ¾ miles of roads within the Village limits. Village employees perform maintenance on roads during the Summer months and plow snow during the Winter months.

Street Lights and Signs

In addition to street maintenance, the Village maintains signs and street lights. If you notice a street light that is out of order or a sign in disrepair, contact the Village.
