Next Township Meeting....

Hello again:

The next Township Board of Supervisors meeting is a SPECIAL SESSION on Monday, October 27th at 6:00pm to decide whether another development project will be granted a conditional use authorization. Although not specifically about the Alexander Spring Project, we can certainly learn a lot about how this development off 641 will be viewed by the supervisors.

So, drop by and see which of the supervisors is pro-development and which ones favor keeping our neighborhoods the way we like 'em!

ps--word on the street says that Barry the Developer for Alexander Spring Village is seeking a special exception for his water and sewage hook-up across a flood plain. We'll keep you informed and let you know when that hearing will occur!

Not so pretty in pink


Anybody noticed these pink markers and ribbons in the neighborhood? Is Barry the Developer already decorating the area before his 35o town houses are developed?

No, these are likely survey markers.

It's time to get involved. Send an email, add a comment or attend a township meeting.

The next township Planning Commission meeting is Thursday, October 9th, 6:30pm at the township building on Newville Rd.

And, now they're gone.

Hello again, everyone. Well, those pesky strips that were laid across our street are now gone. They were only there for two days. Is that really long enough to get a good count of how many vehicles travel along McAllister Church Rd. each day?

We won't know until Barry Lyons, the project's developer, lets everyone know at one of the township meetings. So far, he's been showing up, but has been so very quiet.

He's been a lot quieter than our street is gonna be when 700+ additional vehicles start hitting our streets.

So, are we going to be quiet while he keeps planning this 350 townhouse complex??

The next township meeting is Wednesday, October 15th at 7pm at the township building. Drop by and see if Barry has anything to say this time....

Counting cars

Anybody noticed these strips across McAllister Church Rd? They are very close to the proposed development and are there to count the number of vehicles that travel on our street. This is one of many things that the developer is doing so that he can begin his work on the property...it may also be the earliest sign that the road will be expanded and that "eminent domain" will be used to take our yards away.

With 350 town houses and approximately 2 cars per house, that'll be a lot of traffic for our tiny little street.

So, how many times a day do you think you can drive across those strips?

Don't forget the township meeting tonight at 7:00pm at the township building on Newville Rd.
