Why Massillon Has the Dead-Animal Calls It Does
Massillon grew up on both banks of the Tuscarawas River after James Duncan recorded the town in 1826 and lobbied to bring the Ohio and Erie Canal through it. A flood control project finished in 1951 widened and straightened the river between levees, and the old canal towpath is now a hiking and biking trail. The city's storm water program names Sippo, Little Sippo, Newman and Wetmore creeks. SR 21 runs as a four-lane divided road beside the river, Lincoln Way (SR 172) follows the old state road, and city snow routes reach US 30 on the south side. Massillon has thirty parks and green spaces and more than 14,497 dwelling units.
Massillon's Street Concern Form lists Dead Animal as an example problem type alongside Pothole, Roadway Sinkhole and Fallen Tree Branch, and asks for a block number or intersection. The Street Department, 401 Walnut Road SW, maintains over 175 miles of road and takes the same reports at 330-833-5746. The city does not publish who collects a reported carcass, how soon, whether there is a charge, or anything about animals on private property. Animal-related concerns go to the city's Animal Control Officer at 330-844-1952 on weekdays, and to the police non-emergency line, 330-832-9811, after hours.
