Carronade Drive Extension is now OPENAs of November 20, 2015 Carronade Drive extension, in the Eckel Trace
Subdivision, is now open to motorists. It has been a long road (pun
intended) to get to this point. Perrysburg Township and the developers of
the Eckel Trace subdivision included this extension in plans many years
ago. Unexpected factors led to delays but we are happy to report the road
is now open and allows for access to Route 199 from
Carronade Drive. This intersection now serves as the main
access to South Route 199 as the
intersection at Eckel Junction and Route 199 was made a right turn only
and thus prohibited access to South Route 199. There are plans for a
roundabout at the intersection of Carronade Drive and Route
199; ODOT will be the lead agency on this project and is
currently planned for 2017.

Snow Removal TipsTo aid the Maintenance Department in clearing the snow
inanef� icientmanner,theRoadSuperintendentasks
residents to please do the following:
Delay as much non-essential travel as possible untilafter the roads have been cleared.
Throughout snowfalls, of more than 2 inches, parkon driveways to allow crews to plow the entirestreet.
When using a snow blower, shovel, or plow to clearyour driveway, please do not push the snow out intothe street.
To avoid clearing your driveway entrancerepeatedly, wait until the plow truck has completedcleared the roadway curb to curb.
Asyoushovelyourdriveway,ifyouhavea� irehydrant close by, please also take a few minutes todig it out. This will aid our Fire Department in theevent of an emergency.
Plowing responsibilitiesThe Road Superintendent reminds residents not allroadways within the Township are maintained byPerrysburg Township Maintenance Department. Certainroadways are maintained by other government agencies orprivate developers.
The Ohio Department of Transportation maintainsState routes. 419. 353.0866
Routes: 795, 199, 20, 65 TheWoodCountyEngineer’sOf� icemaintains
County roads. 419.354.9071 Oregon, Lime City, Roachton, Tracy, & parts of
Dowling Roads Condo/ apartment complexes and mobile home
parks should contact the owners of the complex forquestions about plowing snow.
Mailbox PolicyAs the snow begins to fall, the Township will plow its roads
to ensure the safety of its residents. While plowing snow
the issue of fallen mailboxes arises. If a mailbox is
damaged by the blade of a Township snow plow it will be
replaced with a galvanized mailbox with a 4 x 4 post, at the
expense of the Township. If a mailbox is damaged in any
other way, the Township will erect the damaged mailbox
so the owner can continue to receive mail, but any
expenses to replace the damaged mailbox will be the
responsibility of the owner.
As the weather changes and the snow falls please be
aware of the workers plowing
snow. As you can see above,
Perrysburg Township trucks are
red. Our crews wear neon green
re� lectivegear.
Thanks for your
cooperation in ensuring our
employees are safe!
