Roads

Municipal road maintenance, paving programs, and capital funding.

What the issue is

Municipal roads are maintained through the township's public works operations and annual capital programs. Paving and reconstruction are typically funded through the capital budget, bonding, and state and county grant programs.

Why it matters locally

Road condition affects daily travel, emergency response, and long-term costs, since deferred maintenance generally increases future expense.

How the Township Committee can influence it

The Township Committee adopts the capital budget, authorizes bond ordinances, awards contracts, and accepts road grant awards.
