Proper maintenance on the blacktopped township roads should save money in the long run, according to Don Pietsch, town board chairman.
A public hearing has been set for Nov. 13, 7:30 p.m. to receive input regarding designating Cemetery Road as a rustic road. Currently, the speed limit outside the Paynesville city limits is 55 mph. Residents along that road have expressed interest in having the speed limit reduced. Also at the hearing, the speed limit on a portion of Crestridge Road, a rustic road, will receive input. Several residents have asked to increase the limit from the 30 mph posted at present.
Dave Voss and Dale Klein, D & D Snowplowing, have contracted to do the plowing on township roads this winter. They plan to work closely with township officials to make certain all township roads get plowed in a timely manner.
