At the July 20 Lower Macungie Township Board of Commissioners meeting, a resolution was proposed for the Fields at Indian Creek to allow for 23 more units which would be built outside of Lower Macungie Township. The concern for this adjustment and additional buildings revolves around traffic concerns with Indian Creek Road having the only entrance and exit to this development.

Solicitor Richard Somach suggested this resolution be tabled as it was apparent the commissioners were not in favor of it. It was suggested another access road be developed to alleviate the future traffic congestion for Indian Creek Road.
