At the June 13 East Allen Township Board of Supervisors meeting, the board heard a presentation about the Route 512 bridge replacement project over the Monocacy Creek. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation spokesman explained the project.

“The bridge is 101 years old and is in poor condition due to water and flood erosion,” he said. “This is not an easy project.”

The spokesman said the diversion of heavy traffic because of the project and another PennDOT project in Bath will be a challenge. The projects could span nine months, creating a potential major inconvenience.

In other business, the board voted to approve the hiring of the township summer camp counselors. Fourteen counselors will be hired, including one head counselor. The total wages for the counselors is $23,275.

Board members approved resolution 2024-15 to grant conditional preliminary final approval for the Snowdrift self-storage land development plan.

The board approved amending the township secretary job description.

A recommendation to authorize lead abatement of township property not to exceed $23,000 was approved.

The board also approved of disposing surplus public works equipment. The township may receive $2,000 or more, according to township Manager Brent Green.

The board approved the review of a security release of Toll Brothers Regency at the Creekside Meadows major subdivision.

A gentleman, identified as representing Regency Creekside Meadows Homeowners Association, spoke about safety issues. The Regency Creekside Meadows is a 55-plus community.

He said his concerns were relayed to the township and are not addressed. He cited problems with tractor-trailer traffic and parking, grass destruction, line-of-sight issues and an “eyesore” property across Route 512. The gentleman requested signage that could help the situation.

Board Chair Roger Unangst and Green said Route 512 is a state road and the Pennsylvania State Police will not endorse signage that cannot be enforced. The board will investigate issues.

The East Allen Soccer Club said there was a computer problem with registering the young players. They noted this delayed administering the soccer program. Unangst asked Green to meet with the club leaders to resolve the issue.
