WH council to meet with PennDOT Monday by Ruth Isenberg White Haven Borough Council will meet twice next Monday, August 28. The second meeting, at 7 p.m., is the regular borough council meeting for routine business. The first, at 10 a.m. at the borough building, will be with PennDOT representatives, including engineers, to discuss what will happen on Main Street during the four years of construction of the Interstate 80 bridges. Because the current plan will bring at least some of the equipment for the
construction in through Main Street, it will have an impact on the borough and its business district. Seven to eight parking spaces may be co-opted on a daily basis, and truck traffic will also be a constant during that period for the 400-600 block. The meeting is open to the public, and an invitation has been extended through the Greater White Haven Chamber of Commerce to business owners who may be impacted. At the end of the meeting, council will give three minutes to anyone who wishes to speak on the subject.
Penn Lake paving/ patching bid awarded by Suzanne Winters
Christine Peiser and Maddie Zink, both Weatherly Area School District teachers, with help from park manager John Furmanchin (shown above) recently put together a kindness rock display from the Weatherly Area Community Library summer reading program, which they led. Stop by and check it out during this weekend’s Weatherly Festival, Friday from 5-10 p.m., and Sunday from 12-9 p.m.
At the Monday, August 14, continuation of the Penn Lake borough council monthly meeting, a motion was made by Penn Lake Council chair Paul Rogan, with a second by John Burden to award the patching and paving bid to Kislan trucking, adjusted up
by a maximum of $500 for line item #6 to increase the pave from 4’x78’ to 5’x78’, total maximum $6,537.50. The three members present, Rogan, Burden, and Shawn Kuter, all voted in favor, and the meeting adjourned.
