A Matter of Life and Death on Route 94
Save Our Rural Heritage has requested that the Huntington Township Supervisors conducted an independent traffic study to assess the need for a left turning lane on Rte. 94 at the proposed entrance to the Peakview trailer park south of White Oak Tree Rd. PennDOT approved the developer's traffic study, which did not include a turn lane, without considering the high volume of truck traffic and farm vehicles, the speed limit and the grade of the road. We strongly believe a left turn lane is necessary at what would be a very dangerous intersection. We urge community residents to attend the next Huntington Township meeting.

Bendersville may cite developer for Friday, March 9, 2007 Tapping into Bendersville’s water main may cost the developer of the proposed Applewood Development money if the borough council has anything to say about it.

Rural townships often fail to address development issues until it is too late. Huntingdon Township Supervisors found themselves in this position in 2004 when they were ordered by Commonwealth Court to approve a preliminary plan for a 275-unit trailer park on 140 acres between Route 94 and Idaville-York Springs Road, outside the borough of York Springs. The court found for the developer because a zoning ordinance had yet to be approved by the township when the plan was submitted in 1999. Does this cause problems?
What can be done? Save Our Rural Heritage (SORH) is fighting to stop the trailer park because it will destroy the wetlands, ruin the rural way of life, and dramatically alter the landscape of the Fruit Belt, a region deemed eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. What can you do?
