A Holiday Greeting from Your City Commissioners

As the calendar turns to December, the air gets crisper, the lights go up, and the smell of pine and gingerbread is everywhere. From all of us here at City Hall, we want to wish you and your loved ones a wonderfully Merry Christmas and the Happiest of Holidays! May your days be filled with cheer, comfort, and perhaps a little too much eggnog.

Now, for a bit of holiday logistics: Everyone dreams of a white Christmas, but here in Bancroft, we like to keep those dreams manageable. Should we be graced with a magical snowfall this winter, please know that our hardworking City Maintenance team will be ready. Snow removal will be officially scheduled only if our winter wonderland gifts us with more than 3 inches of fresh snow. Think of 3 inches as the minimum required height for a proper snow angel—anything less, and the roads are all yours!

Stay warm, stay safe, and have a fantastic holiday season!

Happy Thanksgiving Bancroft Residents

We hope you’re ready to feast and enjoy the cozy start to the holiday season. While we’re grateful for the gorgeous fall colors, those chilly November rains have officially arrived!

Our storm drains are the unsung heroes of the city, working hard to prevent street flooding. But they can’t do it all alone. A thick blanket of leaves and other debris turns a grateful storm drain into a grumpy one.

Please help keep our water flowing smoothly by ensuring your curbs and storm drains are clear of leaves, grass clippings, and other waste. This small effort keeps our streets (and our Maintenance Commissioner!) happy and prevents water from pooling where it shouldn’t.

Let’s keep Bancroft beautiful and dry this holiday season.
