Resident urges four‑way stops and speed humps on Bellevue Avenue; council cites PennDOT jurisdiction

Resident Tim Damiani told Langhorne Borough Council he remains concerned about persistent speeding on Bellevue Avenue and urged the council to install additional four‑way stops at the Winchester, Marshall and East Watson intersections and to consider speed humps.Damiani said a separate four‑way stop exists at Richardson and Bellevue and that similar treatments at other intersections could reduce speed. He also said a neighbor reported K. E. Seifert trucks speeding on Bellevue.Asking for options, Solicitor Barbara Kirk noted Bellevue Avenue is a state highway and suggested Damiani mail a copy of his request to state Senator Frank Farry to prompt PennDOT review. President Kathleen Horwatt said PennDOT had removed a stop sign at Bellevue and Winchester because the agency does not approve three‑way stops and generally approves four‑way stops only where traffic volumes meet their standards. Mayor Barry Truchil suggested contacting the owner of K. E. Seifert, Eric Creighton, about the speeding trucks, and Councilperson Kate Transue said traffic to Middletown Country Club contributes to speeds and recommended contacting the golf course manager about signage. The council did not take immediate action but identified outreach steps for the mayor and residents.
