    DEP Announces Virtual Public Meeting to Launch Wharton State Forest Visitor and Vehicle Use Survey

    The status of that bit of the road shows up in the Evesham Township road map as "Other", which suggests to me that it's not maintained by the township at all. I don't know if it was formally vacated by the township or if the abutting property owners just consented to maintain it (or not) by...

    Fix Our Parks

    Russ, it sounds like they're following the model we use here in Pennsylvania (don't know if we originated it). The basic idea, as I heard it explained to me, was that our DCNR (=DEP) people anticipated funding cuts, more deferred maintenance, and so on, and wanted to set up a structure that...
