ROUNDABOUT
UPDATE
At the public meeting on May 15, 2019 regarding the
proposed improvements to Route 118 at Outlet Road and “Cooks Corner”, the
residents in attendance and your township supervisors made it clear that
everyone was in favor of the improvements at Cooks Corner” and opposed to building
a roundabout at Outlet Road.
Subsequently the township sent a letter dated May 23,
2019 and a copy of a formal resolution dated June 18, 2019 to PennDOT stating
our opposition to the roundabout and support of the “Cooks Corner” improvements.
We received a letter from PennDOT today wherein it is
stated:
“Please be advised the Department has determined
that the best use of highway safety funding for this particular project would
be to continue the design of several roadway realignments and access controls;
but to remove the proposed roundabout from the project. Several other
improvements will be incorporated into the project, such as a turning lane on
PA 118, and revisions to the intersection design of Market Street at PA 118.”
THERE WILL NOT BE A ROUNDABOUT
ON PA 118 IN LEHMAN TOWNSHIP.
Thanks
to everyone that attended the public meeting.
