Road Right Of Way Notice
Cascade Township wishes to remind residents that plantings and landscaping must be kept out of the township road right of way. These right of ways and the road ditches are the drainage for storm water and must be kept free of plantings and blockages in order to help prevent damage to our roads and personal property. If you are not sure where the road right of way is, please contact a board member for assistance.
