Dear Neighbors,

I am sure by now you are aware of the abundance of weeds and dead shrubs along the sound walls/barriers of 202. In addition, several large 202 signs have been stationed within our neighborhood along Hancock as you exit the development. Linda Callegari and I have been in touch with Larry Comunale, the township manager, requesting a neighborhood meeting with the township and PENNDOT. In particular we want to discuss the landscaping/contract along the sound wall/barriers and obtain information about the anticipated impact of traffic on our neighborhood prior to the opening of the highway.

 

In response to this request, Mr. Comunale just informed us that the township thought it was a good idea and is coordinating these efforts through Kate Harper's office. We emphasized that we want this meeting to occur in a timely fashion before the contractor completes the work this fall.

 

We certainly want to make sure that promises are kept for nice landscaping/ivy along the sound wall, including regular maintenance to make it aesthetically more acceptable. We have been informed that PENNDOT will address the completion of plants with a 1 year guarantee and weeding this fall, but said they are not under a contract to continue with maintenace.   In addition, we want to have them address safety issues to our neighborhood including minimizing outside traffic. This situation affects as all. We will let you know  when the meeting is scheduled and hope we have a strong attendance. If you have any questions or suggestions in the meantime, let's use the Gwynedd Knoll email  as our sounding board.

Sincerely,

Gwen Douse
