Supervisors Adopt Memorialization Policy; Remove Road ROW Prohibition
Summary
The board approved Resolution 2025-4 setting rules for memorials on Township-owned property and removed a proposed ban on ad-hoc memorials in road rights-of-way before adoption.
Springfield Township adopted Resolution 2025-4 to establish a formal policy for memorials on Township-owned property, including parks, facilities and the rail trail.
Solicitor presented a cleaned-up draft; the board agreed to remove a section that would have prohibited ad-hoc memorials in road rights-of-way so the resolution applies only to Township-owned property. Supervisors voted unanimously to approve the resolution with that change.
Township staff noted two park benches are in stock and more may be ordered to fulfill rail-trail requests. The policy now gives the board a process for evaluating memorial requests going forward.
