A representative of the PA Fish and Boat Commission stopped by the office and asked if the township would be interested in making the creek along the Township property an area restricted to only children and disabled people. He said that a couple of residents called to request it. It was decided that there will be too much activity going on with the walking trail construction this year to make a decision on that.
