Resident warns of ice hazard from runoff onto Old Friedensburg Road; road crew to investigate
Summary
A resident reported that runoff from behind his property flows onto Old Friedensburg Road and freezes in cold weather; the Road Foreman said crews have been plowing and applying salt and anti-skid and township staff will investigate stormwater and catch-basin options.
Brian Reeves told the Lower Alsace Board on Jan. 11 that excessive water runoff from behind his property flows onto Old Friedensburg Road and freezes during cold weather, creating a hazard for vehicles and pedestrians.
Carl Weikel, the Township Road Foreman, said he is aware of the condition and that crews have been addressing it by frequent plowing and by applying road salt and anti-skid. The Township Manager said he and the Road Foreman will investigate the drainage configuration and whether storm catch basins or other infrastructure exist or can be added to reduce the runoff onto the roadway.
No formal timetable or funding source for any remedial work was specified in the minutes. The board did not take a formal vote but directed staff to examine the construction and drainage at the site and report back with options.
