Committeeman Bowser details recent road repairs, sewer maintenance and tree work
Summary
Committeeman Bowser summarized Department of Public Works activity at the meeting, citing 11 road patch applications, 71 pothole repairs, sewer-line flushing and multiple tree removals and trims; he listed affected streets and gave a contact number for concerns.
Committeeman Bowser presented the Department of Public Works report, outlining recent road repairs, sewer maintenance and shade-tree work in the Township. He said the road division processed 11 road patch applications and completed 71 pothole repairs, repaired sinkholes on Stuyvesant Avenue, and dug and backfilled trenches to assist the fire department's training.
The report listed about 3 tons of asphalt used for repairs and named affected streets: Liberty Avenue, Nicholas Place, Crawford Terrace, South Master Parkway, Fairwood Drive, Headley Terrace, Valley Road, Springfield Road (across from the Township's Walmart), Shear Avenue and the Union High School parking lot. These street names were provided by Bowser as locations of recent or ongoing repairs.
Bowser also reported street-cleaning activity (the transcript contains an unclear figure shown as "33 333"), and said the sewer division flushed 18 sewer lines for maintenance and handled two after-hours emergency sanitary call-outs. He said the department processed 60 "M sign" applications intended to minimize fats, oils and grease (FOG) in the sewer system.
On urban forestry work, Bowser said the shade-tree division completed seven stump removals, three tree removals, 12 trims and 20 tree assessments.
"As always, all concerns regarding Department of Public Works can be addressed by calling 908-686-1922 or by using the report a concern feature on the Township website," Committeeman Bowser said. He then concluded his report.
The report provided numbers and street names for residents and stakeholders; no motions or votes were taken during the DPW update.
