Keep Trees and Shrubs Clear of Sidewalks and Township Roads
Hanover Township reminds residents and business owners that property owners are responsible for maintaining trees and shrubs that overhang sidewalks and Township roads.
Trees and Shrubs Along Sidewalks
Tree branches must provide at least 8 feet of clearance above the sidewalk. Trim shrubs and branches so they do not extend into the walkway. The full width of the sidewalk should remain free and clear to allow safe passage for all pedestrians.
