The Pennsylvania Game Commission is advising motorists to slow down and stay alert as nighttime and deer movement hours increase leading up to the fall breeding season. Yearling bucks may travel several dozen miles to find new ranges, and adult bucks are cruising their home range in search of does and may chase those they encounter.  Data from around the country indicates that Pennsylvania drivers face some of the highest risks of a vehicle collision with a deer or other large animal. A recent report shows Pennsylvania led the country in animal-collision insurance claims in FY 2023-24. Pennsylvania drivers, according to the report, have a 1-in-61 chance of a vehicular accident involving a big game animal. 

A driver who hits a deer with a vehicle is not required to report the accident to the Game Commission. If the deer dies, Pennsylvania residents may claim the carcass by calling the Game Commission at 1-833-PGC-HUNT or 1-833-PGC-WILD. An agency dispatcher will collect the information needed to provide a free permit number, which the caller should write down. A resident must call within 24 hours of taking possession of the deer. A passing Pennsylvania motorist also may claim the deer if the person whose vehicle hit it doesn’t want it. To report a dead deer for removal from state roads, motorists can call the state Department of Transportation at 1-800-FIX-ROAD.  If a deer is struck by a vehicle but not killed, drivers are urged to maintain their distance because some deer might recover and move on. However, if a deer does not move on or poses a public safety risk, drivers are encouraged to report the incident to the Game Commission or other law enforcement agency. If the deer must be put down, the Game Commission will direct the proper person to do so.

The Township will begin its fall leaf pickup Township wide starting October 21^st through December 6th.  To ensure your leaves are picked up they must be placed roadside by 7:00 AM Monday morning to be picked up that week.   Leaves should be placed along the edge of the roadway for the collection equipment to reach them.  Bagged leaves will not be collected.  As a reminder, the Township will not pick-up the leaves if piles are located too far off the edge of roadway or if brush or trash is mixed in the pile.  Leaves are only collected along public (Township and State) roadways.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation proposes replacement of the existing bridge along State Route 4045 (Campground Road) over Dogwood Run in Carroll Township, York County.

The purpose of the project is to address the deteriorating condition of the existing bridge and provide a sustainable crossing along Campground Road over Dogwood Run. The existing bridge was constructed in 1949 and has outlived its useful service life.  The deck is very worn, with exposed aggregate, delaminated areas, and numerous short longitudinal cracks throughout the deck surface. The existing railing does not meet current design standards.

The project will involve the replacement of the existing two span, reinforced concrete slab bridge. The proposed replacement structure is a single-span spread box beam bridge with u-shaped wingwalls. The roadway across the proposed structure will include two 11’ lanes with 4’ shoulders on both sides. Detour, Project Display 1, Project Display 2, Project Display 3.

As we all know one of the pressing issues in the Carroll Township / Dillsburg Borough area is TRAFFIC.  Now is the time to let the officials at York County know about the traffic conditions in our area!  This input is important and will help drive home the concerns and issues residents have to YCPC and YAMPO.

The York County Planning Commission (YCPC), on behalf of the York Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (YAMPO), has begun to update the Congestion Management Process (CMP), the first since 2015. In concert with updating the CMP, a public survey has been created to obtain feedback from the public about the perception and observation of congestion in York County. The goal of this survey is to gather information about the experiences, perceptions, and suggestions related to vehicular traffic and congestion locally. The responses received will help set goals and objectives for the Congestion Management Process (CMP) that reflect the desires of York County’s residents, workers, and visitors. This survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. The survey can be taken on the YCPC website. https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/6d8e456b3ea34b71baaae60362b44d7c?portalUrl=https://yorkcountypa.maps.arcgis.com

Carroll Township is currently in the preliminary planning stages for major traffic improvements to the Route 15 and Route 74 corridors.  The Township has been working with PennDOT and York County Planning on the proposed future improvements.  Exhibits have been prepared for the concepts and are being incorporated into the Official Map.  The process of amending the current Official Map will involve public meetings and a public hearing.  Public input is always welcomed and encouraged at these meetings.  A link to the proposed traffic improvement concept exhibits can be found here.
