Resident urges township help after severely deteriorated curb on Lookout Lane
Summary
A resident representing his elderly parents urged the board to help address a severely deteriorated curb and sidewalk apron on Lookout Lane, suggesting cost‑sharing or piggybacking on nearby projects; the board asked for photos and said it will follow up.
During public comment the board heard from John Dunlavy, a township resident who spoke on behalf of his parents about a severely deteriorated curb/drive apron at 183 Lookout Lane. Dunlavy said the curb has been deteriorating since a 2019 water‑line and paving project and that the homeowners may have missed an earlier opportunity for cost‑sharing to replace sidewalk or curb sections.
Dunlavy asked whether the township could help low‑income homeowners by piggybacking repairs onto nearby contracts or providing monetary relief. He said he had sent photos to township staff and offered to provide additional pictures for the record. The chair asked Dunlavy to provide the photos and said the board would look into the matter and respond.
"The curb in their area is so severely deteriorated," Dunlavy said, explaining he believes the issue was overlooked during earlier work and that the condition now creates a safety hazard. Township staff asked Dunlavy to submit his photos so the board can review and follow up ahead of the next scheduled meeting.
