Provide safe roads
-
Allow for efficient road maintenance
-
Allow for landowner notification and input
-
Protect the natural beauty of the town
The patrolman and his team may cut within the town right-of-way. Dead or decaying trees as well as any trees less than 4 inches in diameter will be cut completely. Additionally, any box-elder, buck thorn, prickly ash, poplar, honeysuckle and mulberry will be cut completely. Birch, cherry, red cedar, elms and any other trees not yet mentioned will be cut if they present a safety concern on a road curve or at an intersection.
Sound oaks, hickory, maple, walnut and other mature species more than 4 inches in diameter will be trimmed. Branches that are hanging less than 25 feet above an area that covers the road width will also be trimmed. Trimming will be done while the tree is dormant. Due to oak blights, trimming of or near oak trees will be done in
winter months.
Wood that is cut will be left in appropriate lengths along the roadway for landowners to collect. If the wood is not picked up within 30 days, the patrolman may make other arrangements.
Mowing
Mowing is generally 20 feet back from the edge of the road. Every attempt will be made to respect any prairie plants or other wildflowers along the roadways per landowners request.
​
Winter Road Maintenance
Maintenance is completed in the order of priority below:
​
-
All daily traveled school bus routes
-
Collector roads

​
By state statute (81.15), the Town has 3 weeks to remove natural snow and ice accumulation. The Town’s goal is to maintain the roads in good winter driving conditions as weather, equipment and budgets allow.
The town road crews will not plow on private property without authorization from the Town Board.
