Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Millcreek Township public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
School District Parking Variance at 1001 West 54th Street
The school district is asking for a parking variance to accommodate a building addition in a residential zone.
Automated License Plate Reader Cameras (Flock)
Residents again demanded the township cancel its Flock camera access before the contract auto-renews November 1, citing privacy and constitutional concerns. Supervisors said they own no cameras and cannot legally bar private property owners from using them, but critics insisted local action is possible.
Bridge Closure
The Old Sterrettania Bridge is shutting down for good because inspections showed it's dangerously outdated and the state won't pay to fix it. This means you're going to have to deal with annoying detours on your daily commute starting Friday.
Leaf Pickup
Fall leaf pickup in Millcreek Township starts next week, meaning it's time to rake your leaves to the curb before Waste Management crews arrive.
Blighted Property Designation
The city just slapped a 'blighted property' label on the house linked to a recent mass shooting, which clears the way for the government to finally step in and do something about the site. It's a big step toward dealing with a painful landmark in the community.
