Additional Information:

Right of Way

The roadway right of way includes the road surface, shoulders, ditches, and utility areas maintained by the township or county.

Items placed within the right of way, such as landscaping, fencing, or mailboxes must not interfere with visibility, drainage, or maintenance operations. Contact the township if you have questions about right-of-way boundaries.

Resurfacing Schedule

Allen Township performs routine road maintenance and resurfacing based on roadway condition, funding availability, and weather.

Resurfacing schedules are updated as projects are planned. Residents are encouraged to check back for the most current information on upcoming road work.

Mailbox Policy

Mailboxes must be installed in a manner that does not interfere with snow removal or roadside maintenance.

Mailboxes should be located outside the roadway and supported by breakaway or flexible posts. Damage caused by snow plowing to properly installed mailboxes will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
