See Something – Say Something

Some individual(s) have been cutting trees and dropping them onto the road. This has included 6 trees over the past 2 or 3 days. Two trees were on Deer road at about 120th Street …one tree on 100th between Deer and Griffith. two trees on Maple between 120th and 130th and one on Buena Vista about 200 feet from County F.

This is an obvious safety issue. Citizens and visitors to the town could be injured, and vehicles could be damaged. It is taking time and energy of town employees to clear the obstructions.

Please, if you see something, say something. Call 911 and report anyone cutting trees and dropping them on the road to the Portage County Sheriff’s Department. Notify a town official so the tree can be removed..
