Residents request MapleLodge Road closure; board says public hearing and neighboring township participation required
Summary
Zach and Julia Wnek asked the board to close a portion of MapleLodge Road. Supervisors said the process requires a public hearing and involvement of Loyalhanna Township because portions of the road are maintained by both townships and closure could affect public access.
Residents Zach and Julia Wnek requested Aug. 20 that the township close a portion of Maplelodge Road. Supervisors noted Salem Township maintains a portion of the road while Loyalhanna Township maintains a longer portion and said a public hearing will be necessary and Loyalhanna must be involved in the process. Officials warned that vacating a public right-of-way could have consequences for general public access and that the procedure differs from abandoning a paper alleyway.
What happens next: the board will schedule a public hearing and coordinate with Loyalhanna Township before any decision is made.
