The Warren Road District maintains the right-of-way of many of the streets in all unincorporated areas. The right-of-way is from the center of the street to the property line. Within that right-of-way, the Road District assumes many responsibilities. Among these are the following maintenance responsibilities:

Asphalt Patching Asphalt Resurfacing
Drainage Gravel Shouldering
Litter Pickup Roadside Mowing
Road Stripping Traffic Control Surface
Tree Removal (right-of-way) Winter Snow & Ice Control


The Road District also offers a Brush Removal Program which is done by highway personnel.

The Leaf Pickup Program is done through Waste Management.

Your Road District is equipped to handle most of the duties and to contract some with private enterprise. We have excellent intergovernmental cooperation with the municipalities in and around township boundaries.
