ROAD MAINTENANCE
- For safety reasons, please slow down on gravel township
roads. The speed you travel
affects washboard areas and potholes. The slower you
travel, the less damage to the roadway, and the safer our
roadways are for you and others.
- If you know of an area of roadway that you consider to be
a problem, please call Gene at 651-583-2229. We will
place a
barricade around any areas that we consider unsafe.
- Approximately three miles of township roadway will be
graveled during the summer months, along with the
application of
chloride on several roads.
