Residents tell Springettsbury supervisors intersection is dangerous and allege targeted code enforcement

Chris Highland, who lives at 2505 Schoolhouse Lane, told the Springettsbury Township Board of Supervisors at its meeting that drivers regularly run the stop sign at the Schoolhouse Lane intersection and that the township should fix the problem before someone is hurt. “It only takes one for a person to get hit or somebody to get t boned,” Highland said.

Highland also said he received a notice of violation for a camper left in his driveway while he prepared for a camping trip and that other neighbors with similar campers do not appear to be ticketed. “I pay for storage. So why am I getting targeted on other violations,” he said, and added that he had previously displayed a sign critical of a past president and later a Trump flag, suggesting unequal enforcement. The board did not record a response to those allegations during public comment.

Another resident, Danny Barker of 740 Sundale Drive, echoed the safety concern, calling the intersection “pretty dangerous” and noting frequent instances of drivers running the stop sign. Charlie Stewart of 3680 Trout Run Road separately urged the township to clear fallen trees and hanging limbs near the sewer plant on Lower Glades Road.

The board did not take immediate, formal action on the intersection during the meeting; public-comment speakers urged infrastructure or enforcement changes, and officials acknowledged the concerns. The meeting record shows the township will continue routine operations and follow up on maintenance matters, but no formal directive or timeline was recorded at this session.
