Township To Install a New Stop Sign Configuration at East High Street/Queen Street Intersection
At the May meeting of the Township Board of Supervisors, the Board adopted Ordinance 2024-1 that approves the installation of two new stop signs on East High Street, at Queen Street, making the intersection an All-Way Stop.
This new stop condition on East High Street will be marked by “Stop Ahead” signs with flashing amber lights, as well as flashing red lights on the new stop signs. The amber lights will remain in place for 30 days and the red flashing lights will remain in place for 60 days, after which time the flashing lights will be removed. In addition, painted stop bar pavement markings will be added to the East High Street approaches to the intersection. A variable message sign will also be temporarily used to alert motorists of the new stop condition on East High Street.
Please take caution of this new configuration. Thank you.

Please Keep Grass Clippings Off Roadways
Hello Neighbors,
Warmer weather is finally here! With the changing season many of you have already begun mowing your lawns. We wanted to remind you all to not blow or leave grass clippings on the roadway as it can pose a severe hazard.
Grass clippings on the roadway, whether wet or dry, can be especially hazardous to motorcycle riders or bicyclists. Their tires need to have good contact with the road surface, especially while negotiating curves. Wet grass clippings become slippery. Motorcycle riders could crash if they hit the brakes or attempt to turn. Dry clippings can potentially blow into a cyclist’s face causing a vision issue.
Additionally, leaving grass clippings on the road can harm local storm sewers and aquatic life.
The next time you are out mowing your lawn, please be mindful of motorcycle riders and cyclists. A small shift in your routine can save a life.
