A Concord Township resident told council that a construction driveway placed at a school bus stop created a hazardous condition that endangered his 5‑year‑old son, and he urged the township to treat school bus stops as a shared safety responsibility. Township engineers and staff described steps taken and noted ongoing permitting and dust‑control coordination with the conservation district.

Resident Dave Cleary said the township "owns a significant responsibility in providing for safe school bus stops" and described an incident he said occurred when a dump truck backed into the area where his child stood. "Every adult has a safety hat, everybody does," Cleary told the council as he urged clearer coordination between the township, school district and developers.

Township Engineer Nate responded earlier in the meeting with updates on several infrastructure items that overlap with residents’ concerns. He said the Carter Way streambank project has received what he described in the meeting as an "NPBS permit from DEP," and that a contractor start date is being coordinated for a September–October start. The engineer also reported the township has requested PennDOT consider modifications to left‑turn signals on Route 322 and that public works has installed a painted stop bar and a painted left‑turn restriction arrow at an intersection where illegal left turns were observed.

Nate said township staff held a site meeting with the conservation district to address dust control on the Bethel Road development site and that the conservation district would be issuing correspondence to the school district regarding dust control issues. "They will be issuing a correspondence to the school district soon, regarding some of the dust control issues we've been having on that site," he said.

Other township staff said vegetation management and public‑works work has included clearing brush and cutbacks on Spring Valley Road, Temple Road, Featherbed Road, Patricia Lane and focused work on Scott Road to improve drainage and visibility. Parks and public works staff also said No Parking signs would be installed on Beaver Valley Road near Penz Woods Winery and the township plans a small grand‑opening for Beaver Valley Park.

The meeting record shows a mix of resident frustration and operational responses: residents urged the township to take a safety‑first approach to bus stop placement and construction access, while township staff described permit activity, roadway markings and planned conservation district follow‑up as ongoing remedies.

Ending: The engineering office and public works reported specific interventions (painted roadway markings, vegetation clearing, communications with the conservation district) and said some actions are pending external responses from PennDOT and the conservation district; residents asked the council to pursue more proactive coordination with the school district on bus stop safety.
