Upper Providence Township supervisors will consider enacting an ordinance amending Chapter 264 (Streets and Sidewalks) to add a new Article IV governing maintenance of sidewalks, curbs and aprons, including manmade trails within 50 feet of a public street. The ordinance would establish maintenance responsibilities and repair specifications, set notice procedures, allow the township to perform required work itself and bill property owners plus a 10% penalty if they fail to comply. The proposed ordinance also reserves the township's right to require construction of new sidewalks, curbs and aprons. The proposal will be considered at a hearing on Monday, Aug. 17, at 7 p.m. A complete copy of the proposed ordinance is available for review at the township administration building, 1286 Black Rock Road, Phoenixville.
