You won't want to miss this event, which will be held at the Borough's new municipal building's parking lot: 600 S. Broad Street. You won't want to miss this exciting event!
Boom Mowing

Boom Mowing 

The Township has rented a boom-mower to address the overgrown vegetation along our roads that a standard roadside mower cannot address. This maintenance activity has not been done in several years so you may notice a measurable cut back with this operation.  We will try to avoid specific landscaped areas as well as trees that are part of a front yard.  If these elements are infringing upon the roadway clearance or obstructing sight distance, we will notify the individual property owner to rectify the situation prior to the Public Works crew performing the task.

Regular maintenance of the roadways, including roadside mowing, maintains the integrity and safety of our roads.  Roadside mowing helps to create a safe area for all road users including motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians.  The mowing also increases sight distance along our roads and from driveways/intersections to help keep everyone safe.

If you have any questions, please contact Ted Otteni, Director of Public Works at ted.otteni@kennett.pa.us or 610.388.1300 ext. 112
