For the first time, 53-foot trucks and other types that can be more than 60 feet in length will be allowed through Route 114. These types of trucks the borough historically has not permitted, Mayor Harold Hertzler said after the meeting. Previously, the borough limited trucks on borough streets to 48 feet in length. Signs to help traffic at temporary bank The South Middleton Township supervisors have agreed to place signs near the Uni-Mart and the adjacent temporary Farmers Trust Bank to help regulate incoming and outgoing traffic. Zoning Officer Tim Duerr told the board Tuesday night congestion has been a problem in the parking lot of the Boiling Springs market since the temporary facility has been erected.
Cars frequently try to exit the parking lot while others are attempting to enter on the same side.
Duerr says space is tight between the temporary modular structure and the existing freestanding automated teller machine, which also sits in the parking lot along Forge Road. Two developments to share road Two developments in North Middleton Township will connect through a new road so both may satisfy the township's entrance and exit ordinance, township supervisors decided Tuesday. The developments of Wertz Run Heights along Wertz Run Road and Kingsbrook Estates along Spring Road each will have more than 20 housing units in the new development phases up for township approval this month. Under township ordinance, these units are enough to require more than one road going in and out of each development. So under a revised plan for Wertz Run Heights submitted to the township board, the developer will fill in a ravine in the area and replace it with a road connecting to Kingsbrook, also under development.
