Lynn Township requests PennDOT study for trailer weight limits on multiple roads
Summary
The township directed a staff member to ask PennDOT to study trailer weight limits on Blue Mountain House Road, Gun Club Road, Leaser Road, Ontelaunee Road and Springhouse Road; the motion was approved unanimously at the Dec. 30 meeting.
During its Dec. 30 close-out meeting the Lynn Township Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to direct Matt Henderson to contact PennDOT and request a study of trailer weight limits on five township roads. Ronald Jerdon made the motion and Frederick Najarian seconded it; the motion carried unanimously.
The roads specified for the study were Blue Mountain House Road, Gun Club Road, Leaser Road, Ontelaunee Road and Springhouse Road. The minutes also list additional roads to consider in the future, including Swamp Road, Levan's Road, Hoffadeckel Court, Brobst Hill Road, Milo Road, Herrnhutter Strass Road and Sweitz Road.
The minutes attribute the recommendation to the Planning Commission's review; the commission and board agreed that certain detailed sections of an externally provided ordinance were too in-depth for Lynn Township, which prompted the review and route-limit study request. The minutes do not specify a timeline for PennDOT's response or expected interim traffic-control measures.
Next steps recorded are administrative: Matt Henderson was directed to contact PennDOT; no vote tally of individual PennDOT actions or dates are recorded in the meeting minutes.
