Pennsauken officials to have township engineer inspect driveway after resident reports wheelchair fall
Summary
During public comment at the Oct. 14 Pennsauken Township Committee meeting a resident reported a neighbor in a wheelchair fell while placing trash at the curb. Township officials said they would connect the resident with Duke Edgar and have the township engineer inspect the street and follow up.
A resident told the Pennsauken Township Committee on Oct. 14 that a neighbor who uses a wheelchair had fallen while trying to reach the curb to put out trash and asked whether the township was responsible for the driveway or curb condition.
A township official said staff would “connect with Duke Edgar” and have the township engineer inspect the location. “If there's something our responsibility that we need to fix at the street, we will take over that. And if it's the owner's responsibility depending on the driveway, we'd share that information,” the official said. The official added the engineer would come out and follow up with the resident after the meeting.
Committee remarks in the meeting did not record a formal vote, ordinance, or contract related to the inspection; the record shows a staff direction to arrange an inspection and follow-up with the resident. The transcript does not specify a timeline for the inspection or the engineer’s findings.
The exchange took place during the public-comment portion of the meeting. No additional details about the address, property ownership, or the wheelchair user’s condition were provided on the record.
