A week ago I blogged about resident concerns on Millcreek Rd. – How residents can address speeding concerns.

At the June 25th public works meeting, the committee voted to recommend to the full Board of Commissioners a reduction of the speed limit to 25MPH on a section of Millcreek. (from 35MPH).

The specific section of road is from the intersection with Spring Creek (Spring Creek is a state road) to the intersection with Saurkraut. The particular portion of the road could be reduced without any further studies.

The board also discussed the possibility of reducing the remaining ‘upper’ portion of Millcreek Rd. up to the intersection with Willow Ln.

The rationale for the lower portion took into account the dangerous curves and short site-lines of the stretch. Just a few days ago there was yet another accident on this portion. A resident pulling out of their driveway was rear-ended by an approaching car coming from over the Schmoyer Bridge.
