At the April 4 Lower Macungie Township Board of Commissioners meeting, Boy Scout Lino Sanchez presented a proposal for a GaGa ball court in Wild Cherry Park. The game is similar to dodgeball.

The plans include installing a corral with sustainable materials in the most suitable place in the park. This includes a request for a marker of some sort to say who constructed the GaGa ball court. Sanchez is from Boy Scout Troop 131. Sanchez expects the project to be competed by the end of summer.

With constant concerns over traffic issues within the township, a traffic concern policy was created. The policy was designed to preserve and improve safety within neighborhoods by attempting to reduce traffic volume and speeds through enforcement and traffic calming measures. Traffic calming includes physical measures.

When residents make a complaint, a written request will be made using the traffic control/signage request form. Requests will be categorized into one of four groups: speeding, signage, warnings and traffic calming. Further details are available online along with the necessary form to complete.

Ordinance 2019-05 was approved for no parking on Service Road One which is the road behind the Charcoal Drive-In. With the approval came the question as to what will happen with this area. Nothing has been discussed as of now.

Approval was made for Resolution 2019-13 which provides for plantings in riparian buffer zones. The areas included in this project are the Kratzer Farm, Riverbend Road and Liberty Properties at the Spring Creek Properties site.

Brian Macker and Guarav Banerjee were appointed to the public safety commission with Macker’s term to expire Dec. 31, 2020 and Banerjee’s term to expire Dec. 31.

An ordinance is to be drafted to restrict trucks on several roads in the township. These roads include Fish Hatchery, East Texas, Riverbend and Kressler which involve turns and truck size restrictions. More information will be available as the ordinance is approved.

Special fire police were sworn in. These individuals are Matthew Behle, Robert George, Eric Gopen, William Henry, James Honer, Jonathon Kayes, Matthew Krupa, Steven Mille, Thomas Miller, Sott Nigro, Glenn Simmons, Matthew Trexler, Randy Trexler and Ryan Trexler.
