Gaping hole opens in plaza lot

BOARDMAN — A gaping hole has opened up at the edge of the parking lot in the Tippecanoe Square strip plaza off Lockwood Boulevard near Tippecanoe Road.

It’s a relatively big hole, measuring about 10 feet long by 8 feet wide — with a 10- to 12-foot drop into the now-exposed Indian Run Creek, for anyone who would be unlucky enough to stumble into it.

Even though it was caused by a culvert collapse on private property and is technically not Boardman’s responsibility, the township wants something done about it.
