Resident questions Little Shannon bridge work, asks about 'paper alleys'
Summary
During public comment Chuck Obrad questioned recent work on the Little Shannon bridge—saying the sides "do not look wide enough"—and asked whether paper alleys are being eliminated; officials said EQT performed structural repairs and there is no current plan to eliminate paper alleys.
During the public-comment portion of the Aug. 11 meeting, resident Chuck Obrad raised concerns about recent repairs to the Little Shannon bridge and asked why the bridge sides were completed in their present form.
The minutes record that Mr. Obrad said the sides "do not look wide enough" and asked why the Township had not been part of the design; the board responded that EQT performed structural repairs ahead of increased truck traffic to nearby well sites and that the Township had no role in the design. Mr. Obrad also asked whether "paper alleys" were being abolished; the board said there is no current plan to do so but noted the laws governing paper alleys have not been updated since the late 1940s–early 1950s and the topic is discussed at meetings because it can cause issues.
