Deer Management Group Meeting Notice

The next deer management meeting is scheduled for Thursday, July 29. It will take place at 7:00 PM at the Townshhip Building. The public is invited to attend.

Initially, these meetings started taking place with the goal of exploring the possibility of deer management activity on one or more parcels of Township–owned property. A dedicated core of volunteers has stepped forward to become involved with this project, and now it's possible that, ultimately, this group may be in a position to serve as a resource for private land owners.

Discussion Regarding Partial Creek Rd Closing Postponed

At the Board of Supervisors meeting held on June 16, there was discussion concerning closing to vehicular traffic the portion of Creek Rd, between Chesterville Rd and Church Hill Rd, that does not have any houses on it. During that discussion, it was proposed that the section of road in question have gates and that there be an opening beside the gates wide enough for walkers, bicyclists and equestrians. It was also proposed that the gates have combination locks on them, and that the combination be available to emergency responders through the 911 Center.

This topic was scheduled for discussion, and possibly a decision, at the Board of Supervisors Meeting to be held on July 21, 2010. However, the expected discussion of potentially closing Creek Rd to vehicular traffic will not take place on July 21, as had been anticipated. The discussion will take place at a future meeting. This will allow for further investigation of the various regulations concerning the potential closure of a roadway.
