There are TWO Lower Dolington Road Trail (LDRT) Punch Lists:

 

• an unofficial “Citizen’s Punch List” and
• an official FINAL PUNCHLIST prepared by Remington-Vernick Engineering (RVE), the township engineering firm

 

On August 29, 2023, the township released a LDR Trail project “FINAL PUNCHLIST” based on the Township Engineer's field inspection conducted on August 23, 2023. Find the official list here: https://bit.ly/Final_LDRT_Punchlist
