HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
The Town of Erin is responsible for maintaining 63 miles of town roads. This does not include the County and State roads within the town, which are maintained by the county.
Summer duties entail grass cutting in the right of ways, various repair work to the roads and ditches, and coordinating and working with the paving and reconstruction projects that occur in the town.
During May and June of 2007, the crew will be installing posts for the new town
address signs. This is being done in an area south of Hwy 167 and east of Hwy
83. During summer, the crews will be installing the actual signs on the posts.
Do not move, modify, or otherwise molest the signs or posts. They are required
by town ordinance.

Naming of Roads
Our unique one-of-kind street signs, modeled after signs found in Ireland
In a continuation of a longstanding tradition in the town that dates back many
many years, all new town road names must be Irish. You may find some roads not
Irish; older small private roads, or roads that are a continuation from another
town.
The town has an ordinance regulating the naming of roads and assigning of
addresses in the town. Road names can be English or Gaelic, but must relate to
Irish History or be a current place or feature name on a map of the Republic of
Ireland. If you can find it on a map, it can be submitted. People and or family
names are not appropriate. For the specific ordinance, which includes all
current road names, follow the link below.
