Traffic Signs
We erect and maintain most of the stop, speed-limit and caution signs on the Township right-of-way. Stop signs are inspected weekly and other signs are inspected each month. If you notice a missing sign, please notify this office so we may quickly replace it and avoid potential accidents.
Asphalt Patching
Potholes are filled as required.
Crack Sealing
Cracks are sealed to prevent water from seeping into the road. This extends the life of the base pavement.
Drainage
Ditching and culvert install as needed
Roadside Mowing
Weather permitting, 3-4 times per season
Road Striping
Done when areas are resurfaced along with various areas when needed
Sidewalk Replacement
Sidewalks are maintained and inspected yearly
Tree Trimming and Removal
Completed every year and inspected for any hazardous areas
Streetlights
Within unincorporated York Township, streetlights are maintained by Commonwealth Edison. If you see a streetlight with a burned-out bulb, please call our office, and we will notify Commonwealth Edison's customer service.
Street Sweeping
Subdivisions with curbs and gutters are swept several times during the year, with special sweeping following construction projects.
Storm Sewers
Storm sewer basins are cleaned as needed. Inlet grates in the street are inspected and cleaned during and after most rainstorms. You may have an inlet on your property. It is your responsibility to keep the grate and basin clean. If you suspect a problem with your backyard drainage, call DuPage County Storm Water Management at (630)407-6800.
The York Township Road District is equipped to handle most of these duties and to contract some with private enterprises. We have excellent intergovernmental cooperation with the municipalities in and around township boundaries. Manpower and equipment are often exchanged to make all of us more efficient.
