Flooding the future

Good article about the state of Zucksville Road during heavy rains. Our favorite quote is below and we believe that the line about a developer and PennDOT will haunt this township in many areas of our community for years to come.

"There really is nothing any township official can do with that because it's a state road," Ackerman said. "Yes, the township approved the development over there but as far as putting the pipe under (the road), that's between (Zawarski) and PennDOT," he said.

Keep that reference in mind if Weis Markets does get built at Sullivan Trail and Uhler Road and traffic is as bad as our experts predict and the Planning Commission, the Zoning Hearing Board (except Ron Asteak) and the 3D's (Howell, Miller and Hoff) of the Board of Supervisors (BoS) deferred to PennDOT and the developer and approved this project. All three Boards, especially the BoS, could have mandated stricter traffic controls on Sullivan Trail but the chose not to.

One wonders why they didn't.
