Summary

Resident Michelle Moore told the Board that water runoff from State Route 44 is flowing onto her property at 5865 N. Rte 44 Hwy, creating potholes and safety issues; Supervisors said the Township cannot act because it is a state road and suggested she contact Representative Joe Hamm.

Michelle Moore addressed the Board in public comment, presenting concerns about water running off State Route 44 onto her property at 5865 N. Rte 44 Hwy. She said the runoff has created potholes on the state highway, affected her property and raised safety concerns for vehicles traveling that section of road.
