Commissioners ask PennDOT study two intersections; stop sign planned after traffic study
Summary
Residents raised concerns about two state/county intersections; staff reported minimal crash data, authorized contact with PennDOT for a formal review, and approved installing a blinking stop sign at East Elfinwild and Balsam Drive followed by an ordinance to make the sign permanent.
Mr. Fleitman relayed resident concerns about the Wible Run/Wetzel Road and Wetzel Road/Little Pine Creek intersections and asked for committee discussion. Township staff told the committee that PennDOT had no record of these intersections being problematic and that crash data showed minimal accidents. Mr. Fleitman requested PennDOT perform a study; Kording was authorized to contact PennDOT but noted formal PennDOT recommendations could obligate the Township to follow through at its own expense.
Separately, Sgt. McBurney conducted a traffic study at East Elfinwild Road and Balsam Drive and recommended a stop sign. Mr. Boyle said a blinking stop sign will be placed for three weeks and then replaced with a regular stop sign; solicitor Mrs. Jewart said adding a stop sign requires an ordinance under the vehicle code and Kording said she would prepare an ordinance for introduction in May and adoption in June.
