And, now they're gone.

Hello again, everyone. Well, those pesky strips that were laid across our street are now gone. They were only there for two days. Is that really long enough to get a good count of how many vehicles travel along McAllister Church Rd. each day?

We won't know until Barry Lyons, the project's developer, lets everyone know at one of the township meetings. So far, he's been showing up, but has been so very quiet.

He's been a lot quieter than our street is gonna be when 700+ additional vehicles start hitting our streets.

So, are we going to be quiet while he keeps planning this 350 townhouse complex??

The next township meeting is Wednesday, October 15th at 7pm at the township building. Drop by and see if Barry has anything to say this time....

Counting cars

Anybody noticed these strips across McAllister Church Rd? They are very close to the proposed development and are there to count the number of vehicles that travel on our street. This is one of many things that the developer is doing so that he can begin his work on the property...it may also be the earliest sign that the road will be expanded and that "eminent domain" will be used to take our yards away.

With 350 town houses and approximately 2 cars per house, that'll be a lot of traffic for our tiny little street.

So, how many times a day do you think you can drive across those strips?

Don't forget the township meeting tonight at 7:00pm at the township building on Newville Rd.

Increased traffic

Hey again, everyone--

If you're worried about traffic on the Ritner Highway or Newville Rd, wait until 350 more households are nearby!! Let's say each house has 2 cars, that's 700 more automobiles on either road.

The developer admits that turn lane "improvements" will be needed. That's developer talk for widening the roads, and putting up traffic lights. Will the township call this "eminent domain" and take our yards from us?!

Plus, if you think getting to Carlisle or accessing I-81 is a problem now, just wait until there are 700 more vehicles during rush hour.
