Carronade Drive Extension is now OPENAs of November 20, 2015 Carronade Drive extension, in the Eckel Trace

Subdivision, is now open to motorists. It has been a long road (pun

intended) to get to this point. Perrysburg Township and the developers of

the Eckel Trace subdivision included this extension in plans many years

ago. Unexpected factors led to delays but we are happy to report the road

is now open and allows for access to Route 199 from

Carronade Drive. This intersection now serves as the main

access to South Route 199 as the

intersection at Eckel Junction and Route 199 was made a right turn only

and thus prohibited access to South Route 199. There are plans for a

roundabout at the intersection of Carronade Drive and Route

199; ODOT will be the lead agency on this project and is

currently planned for 2017.

Snow Removal TipsTo aid the Maintenance Department in clearing the snow

inanef� icientmanner,theRoadSuperintendentasks

residents to please do the following:

Delay as much non-essential travel as possible untilafter the roads have been cleared.

Throughout snowfalls, of more than 2 inches, parkon driveways to allow crews to plow the entirestreet.

When using a snow blower, shovel, or plow to clearyour driveway, please do not push the snow out intothe street.

To avoid clearing your driveway entrancerepeatedly, wait until the plow truck has completedcleared the roadway curb to curb.

Asyoushovelyourdriveway,ifyouhavea� irehydrant close by, please also take a few minutes todig it out. This will aid our Fire Department in theevent of an emergency.

Plowing responsibilitiesThe Road Superintendent reminds residents not allroadways within the Township are maintained byPerrysburg Township Maintenance Department. Certainroadways are maintained by other government agencies orprivate developers.

The Ohio Department of Transportation maintainsState routes. 419. 353.0866

Routes: 795, 199, 20, 65 TheWoodCountyEngineer’sOf� icemaintains

County roads. 419.354.9071 Oregon, Lime City, Roachton, Tracy, & parts of

Dowling Roads Condo/ apartment complexes and mobile home

parks should contact the owners of the complex forquestions about plowing snow.

Mailbox PolicyAs the snow begins to fall, the Township will plow its roads

to ensure the safety of its residents. While plowing snow

the issue of fallen mailboxes arises. If a mailbox is

damaged by the blade of a Township snow plow it will be

replaced with a galvanized mailbox with a 4 x 4 post, at the

expense of the Township. If a mailbox is damaged in any

other way, the Township will erect the damaged mailbox

so the owner can continue to receive mail, but any

expenses to replace the damaged mailbox will be the

responsibility of the owner.

As the weather changes and the snow falls please be

aware of the workers plowing

snow. As you can see above,

Perrysburg Township trucks are

red. Our crews wear neon green

re� lectivegear.

Thanks for your

cooperation in ensuring our

employees are safe!
