Councilors flag road work and parking needs; comprehensive planning status varies between municipalities
Summary
Mars and Adams officials identified road repairs and expanded parking as priorities post-merger; Adams noted a costly 2013 comprehensive plan that was not closely followed, while Mars does not currently have a comprehensive plan.
Council members and residents identified roadwork and parking as near-term priorities in the event of a merger. John McWilliams said "there is a lot of road work to be done" and said he would coordinate with Adams Township Road Department supervisor John Hock. Mike Fleming said a grass lot across the street from the Animal Depot is planned to become a parking lot.
On planning, Adams Township Chairman Russell R. Ford said Adams completed a Comprehensive Plan in 2013 that was expensive and "not followed very closely," while Mike Fleming said Mars Borough does not have a Comprehensive Plan. Officials said future planning efforts would be discussed if the merger moves forward.
