BRISTOL People driving along Mahan Denman Road might notice more than a chicken crossing the road. Peacocks are roaming the area.
Township trustees said at their recent meeting they’ve received calls from residents who have seen peacocks running across or along the road.
Trustee Ramon French said peacocks and peafowl are classified under agriculture poultry / fowl in the Ohio Revised Code, the same as chickens and ducks, and need to be kept on their own properties by the owners.
“There have been calls of people seeing peacocks running at large and by the roads,” French said.

BRISTOL –Township officials are discussing adding onto the township garage as new equipment has been acquired that often has to be left outside due to insufficient space.
Trustee Chairman Doug Seeman said at their recent year end / organizational meeting that trustees first need to hire an architect to determine what will be involved to add onto the garage and if the current structure could handle an addition.
Seemann said large equipment used by the road department has to remain outside the garage building, but it should be inside to extend the life of the equipment.
The garage is located near the township administration building at the township center.
