Miscellaneous Maintenance
Traffic Signs
We erect and maintain most of the stop, speed limit and caution signs on Township rights-of-way. Stop signs are inspected weekly and other signs are inspected each month. If you notice a missing sign, please notify this office so we may quickly replace it and avoid potential accidents. Stop Signs and Speed Limit Signs, new or changes to existing signs, are regulated by the DuPage County Engineer. Requests for signs or sign changes must come from the Township Highway Commissioner. Do Not Contact the County directly; contact the Road District office, 630-231-8850 to start the procedure.
Ditch Work
Not all ditches need to be re-ditched. This work is performed all summer long. Ditching is scheduled by the area (subdivision,) not by the address. You will be put on the ditch list when you call.
Mowing
We mow rural area rights-of-way 4-5 times per season.
Tree Removal
Trees that are dead on the Township road right-of-way are marked in the summer or early fall and then removed during the winter season. The Township does not prune or trim trees.
Litter Pick-up
Performed as necessary.
