Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Millcreek Township public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Peach Street sidewalk gap closure
A grant application with Summit Township would fill the sidewalk gap on Peach Street from Wegmans to Chipotle, creating a seven-mile connected corridor from the bayfront to I-90. The township's share is about $134,000 with a $40,000 match budgeted for 2028.
Expanded 2026 Paving Program and Budget Amendment
The brutal winter wrecked more roads than budgeted, so the board added $875,787 to the paving budget — from reserves, not your taxes. Paving costs also jumped nearly 9% to $17.60 per square yard. Bock wants roads measured earlier in the year so next year's budget is more accurate.
Airport Truck Traffic Damaging Grant Avenue
Candy Horm counted 80 loaded tri-axle trucks an hour on Grant Avenue from airport runway work and asked about road bonds for damage. The board promised to look into it and ask contractors to use a different route.
Bridge preservation funding
The township signed onto a PennDOT grant agreement to preserve the Garries Road and Zimmerly Road bridges over Walnut Creek using $1.34 million in federal funds — no local match required.
CDBG Sidewalk Project and Sidewalk Deferrals
Phase 2 of sidewalk replacement in low-moderate income areas was awarded at $83,105, part of the township's ADA lawsuit settlement obligations.
