Residents raise road-condition, unauthorized tree removal and utility-wire safety concerns

South Pymatuning Township Board of Supervisors · April 9, 2025

Summary

Residents raised infrastructure and safety issues: Kurt Toth reported poor road condition on Buckeye Drive and an unauthorized tree removal; Jim Keating warned about trees and limbs leaning on utility wires and noted utilities often don't act until outages occur.

Resident Kurt Toth told the board that Buckeye Drive — between Orangeville Road and Ivanhoe Road — is in poor condition and that a tree had been removed from his property without authorization. The minutes record his request but do not include an immediate remedial action or schedule for roadwork or tree enforcement.

Resident Jim Keating of Crestview Drive further raised a public-safety concern about trees and limbs leaning on utility wires. According to the minutes, board members noted that wire owners commonly do not address leaning trees until an outage occurs; the minutes do not record a commitment from the board or utilities to perform proactive mitigation.
