BOSTON TOWNSHIP

The Township minutes are posted on our website at www.bostontownship.org and outside the fiscal office at the Boston Township Hall. Meetings are not covered by the West Side Leader.

Peninsula Police: The trustees have received a few questions regarding the Peninsula Police Department. Some township residents received letters announcing the village`s new traffic control devices. Please note that those devices will not be in operation in Boston Township. The letter was sent simply as a courtesy as many township residents traverse the village. Also, membership in the recently formed Peninsula Police Association is open to current and retiring police officers and previous and current village elected officials. Township officials are not eligible for membership.

Akron-Cleveland Road: The Summit County Engineer`s Office has stated that the Akron-Cleveland Road improvement project will begin around May 1st. The project is slated to cost $875,000 with $700,000 coming from federal funds. Two-way traffic is to be maintained at all times.

Wetmore Road: Due to the lack of residents and the condition of the roadway, the trustees have asked the Summit County Engineer`s Office to conduct a review of Wetmore Road. The trustees have been receiving many communications from residents of Haas Road in Cuyahoga Falls. To date, the only action that has been taken is to ask the county for this review.

Brush Pick-up: Brush pick-up commences the first Monday in May and continues through October. Place cut ends toward the curb. Please no dirt, or dirt balls, and no foreign material such as lumber, nails, or barbed wire. For more information, please call the Road Department at (330) 657-2600.

Zoning Updates: The Zoning Commission is continuing to review the provisions in the zoning resolution regarding Home Occupations.

Cemetery Meeting: The township trustees are to be invited to the May meeting of Peninsula Village Council for the annual discussion of funding to maintain both Cedar Grove and Boston cemeteries through the joint Union Cemetery Association.

Akron-Cleveland Road Water Service: Through the Joint Economic Development District (JEDD) Agreement between Cuyahoga Falls and Boston Township, Cuyahoga Falls extended its water system along Akron-Cleveland Road to a point near Sunbelt Rentals. Guidance and cost estimates are now available for property owners in the vicinity to connect to the new water line. Please contact Boston Township Trustee Bill Clifton for additional information if you are interested in connecting to the water line. He can be contacted at 330-657-4032 or at b.clifton@bostontownship.org.
