When Township Staff and the Board of Supervisors are alerted to issues on State Roads, we do take it seriously and call and or email them until the area is fixed.  We get as frustrated as our residents do.  This is your PA State Tax Money at work.  We encourage our residents to call PENNDOT Chester County Maintenance at 1-484-340-3201.
