Residents urge action on drainage and present speed‑hump proposal at Conewago meeting
Summary
Residents raised drainage concerns and urged supervisor intervention; Anne Hitz presented materials on speed humps, and the board’s engineer said a stormwater plan has been approved and will be implemented.
Residents used the public‑comment portion of the Aug. 4 Conewago Township meeting to press the board for action on local traffic calming and drainage problems.
Anne Hitz presented an article on speed humps to the board, raising traffic‑calming as a possible mitigation for speeding in neighborhood streets. Gary Shope told the board of a drainage issue affecting his property and asked supervisors to intervene; Jay Brandt said the problem should have been resolved years earlier.
In response to the drainage concern, the minutes record that Frank Chlebnikow stated the stormwater plan has been approved and "will be implemented as soon as possible." The minutes do not record a timeline for implementation or additional board direction beyond the Engineer Report references to RETTEW memos.
The board did not record further public‑comment motions or votes on the speed‑hump request; engineering approvals later in the meeting addressed site‑specific stormwater plans for the Inman property and 350 Laurel Drive, both approved with required modifications per RETTEW memos. The public portion of the meeting concluded when the board recessed to executive session at 7:54 p.m.
