Do our streets get swept by the the twp?

From Tom Casari, Canton Twp. 5/7/09 ~
In response to your questions, Canton does not typically sweep residential streets. Our street sweeping program began as part of Canton's storm water permit requirements. We generally sweep the developing residential projects and either the developer or builders in the projects pay for the cost of the sweeping. Recently, the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) hired the Township to sweep Ford road monthly throughout the spring, summer and fall. In addition, the Pheasant Run Roadway managers Association (PRRMA) also hired the Township to sweep its residential streets which are private roads.
The Twp Board has authorized us to sweep Wayne County primary roads like Haggerty and Canton Center as well. We are doing this because the County has reduced or eliminated their sweeping program. If you are interested in us sweeping your roads we can prepare a cost estimate for this services. The PRRMA system is roughly 10-12 miles of roadway and we charge $1,500 per sweep.

Who is responsible for cleaning up the creek that runs thru the sub?
View || Hide
From Tom Casari, Canton Twp. 5/7/09 ~
The creek is a county drain. Currently the county has jurisdiction for the maintenance. If they work on it, they assess the cost to the drainage district which is all properties that drain into the drain. The Township in the near future may take over responsibility from the county for maintenance purposes. We are in the middle of discussion with them at this time. Cleaning generally means maintaining the design flow channel so that it does not flood adjacent properties. It does not mean removing paper and stuff like that. For cleaning litter and stuff that won't cause a flooding problem, we would suggest that the home owner association be responsible for that type of maintenance.

Who is responsible for cutting the grass on Morton Taylor, Warren and Lilley Roads?
View || Hide
Wayne county is responsible for these areas, but does not maintain them. Canton Twp cuts the grass on Morton Taylor from the sidewalk down to the curb. However residents who's homes back up to Morton Taylor road are responsible to maintain the strip of land between the sidewalk and the end of the property line. This includes weeding if necessary. Warren and Liley Roads entrances are cut by the Willow Homes Association grass contractor.
