ROAD MAINTENANCE
The Town's largest asset are its roads. Road repairs, snow removal, signage, clearing the Right of Way, and grass cutting are provided by your Township.
CLEARING TOWN ROAD RIGHT-OF-WAYS
In 2021 the Town of Lincoln began an extensive and over due clearing of Town Road Right-of-ways. Clearing the right-of-way ensures safe travel, increases visibility, and decreases the chance of fallen trees on the roadway. Clearing the right-of-way is the responsibility of the township. Most right of ways extend 33' from the center of the road for a total of 66' of right of way. Click here to review an article about many common town right of way questions.
SAFETY SERVICES
