Township adopts resolution transferring Mount Zion Road right-of-way to PennDOT
Summary
Springettsbury Township adopted Resolution 2026-38 to transfer portions of right-of-way along Mount Zion Road to PennDOT, resolving a decades-old dedication for which a deed could not be located and asking staff to create the missing deed.
Springettsbury Township’s Board of Supervisors voted to adopt Resolution 2026-38 to transfer portions of the right-of-way along Mount Zion Road to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT). The motion passed by voice vote.
The board said the underlying deed dedication dated to about 1989, around the time the Galleria Mall was developed, but staff could not find a recorded deed. Staff reported that Solicitor John Luciani was asked to prepare the appropriate deed documentation to complete the transfer and clear the record.
Board members described the action as cleaning up a decades-old administrative gap rather than creating new right-of-way. The motion was moved and seconded and carried on a unanimous voice vote.
Next steps: staff will work with the solicitor to prepare and record the deed with PennDOT. The transcript does not provide a filing timeline or the full deed language.
