DOES YOUR ROAD NEED ATTENTION??? Not all roads in the township are maintained by LafayetteTownship. Some roads in our community are county roads, and still others are state routes, which means that maintenance and snow removal on those roads are the responsibilities of those agencies. Before you pick up the phone to call about a road issue, please check this list (click here) so that you call the right place. |
