Business from the Floor:

Chris Caba, Senior Planner with York County Planning Commission was present. He explained the Transportation Improvement Program, how it works, where they get the funding and what the funding is spent on. Questions were asked about the high volume of accidents on RT 194 and the intersection of RT 74 and Wellsville Rd. He said he would look into these two concerns.

Old Business:

Solicitor, Sharon Myers, looked into Act 31 updates, restricting certain trucks on Township Rds.

She said signs can be posted only for trucks with trailers over 45’ in length without conducting a traffic study. Documentation of why the restriction was placed on those roads is critical. For trucks under that length a study must be done to see if restrictions are warranted. No action taken at this time by the Supervisors.

New Business:

There was no new business to discuss.
