When will you plow my street?
The normal procedure for plowing streets in West Goshen Township is for the
Streets Department to first salt hills, intersections, curve areas, then thoroughfares. Second step is to plow main streets, secondary streets, and cul-de-sacs, in that order, completing one pass in each
direction on main and secondary streets, and a pass into and out of cul-de-sacs.
How long does a developer have to remove snow or ice on an undedicated street? (Chapter 68)
Developers must begin removal of snow and/or ice within two hours after snow and/or ice begins to fall.

GENERAL
When can potholes be repaired?
Potholes on Township streets (not state roads) are repaired as quickly as scheduling and weather permits. Cold patching is done in the winter months; blacktop is used for the summer months.
When will the Township resurface streets?
The paving procedure is scheduled three to five years in advance, and
in October and April the Board of Supervisors and the Township Manager accompany the Roadmaster on a road inspection. The process is determined by age, traffic patterns and winter damage. Line striping
is done once resurfacing is done.
Who is responsible to take a tree down that is in the Township right-of-way?
The Township is not responsible for
trees to be taken down even if they are in the Township's right-of-way. It is the owners responsibility. If a tree has fallen into the Township street, then the Township will remove it out of the street
area only. If the tree is in the Township right-of-way and it is deemed to be dead, we will contact the property owner to get a price to have it removed. We will then get another price, and notify the
owner of the price.
Can the Township remove a tree branch from electric or telephone wires?
The Township will not remove any tree limbs from electric or telephone wires. We will contact the appropriate utility company to do so.
