Pictured here is one of the Allegan Department of Public Works’ 13’ backhoes in front of one small section of one of two 150’ long snow piles at Padgham Field. Snow that is removed from Allegan’s 29 miles of roadways is hauled to the Padgham Field Airport. This pile is from the past few weeks of snowstorms and drops an additional 25’ to the runway.
On Facebook, the city said it took over 30 hours to move all of the snow and would like to extend their gratitude to the “dedicated DPW employees who kept the City of Allegan streets and sidewalks clear of snow around the clock!”
