Hey PR watcher- I spoke with PennDot. And you have no idea what I do in this community to help out. What do you do besides sit and watch people post on this sad little corner of the Internet? Some people actually do care about where their tax money goes and some people do actually do something about it in addition to commenting here. Jerk.   more ›

Could It Be? Graham, Pearce Mill Roads in Pine to Reopen Soon

But Bakerstown-Warrendale Road will close.

Graham Road—after three years of closure—is reopening to traffic Saturday morning and so is Pearce Mill Road in Pine Township. All this activity is just in time for Pennsylvania Turnpike crews to close Bakerstown-Warrendale Road and detour traffic to Graham and Pearce Mill. The latest closure is needed to remove the bridge that carries the Turnpike over Bakerstown-Warrendale Road, according to the PA Turnpike’s website. Crews also will mill and pave this portion of the road. Road closures throughout Pine Township over the past few years have been part of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission’s $113 million, 6.78-mile total-reconstruction and widening project between milepost 31 and 38 which spans Pine, Richland, Marshall and Hampton …

$193,000 Bill for PRHS Traffic Lights Takes Pine Supervisors By Surprise

Traffic lights will be installed at the Pine-Richland High School entrance and a short distance up the road at the Babcock Boulevard-Warrendale Road intersection.

A $193,000 bill for the addition of traffic lights near Pine-Richland High School came as a bit of a surprise to Pine Township's Board of Supervisors. Vice Chairman Philip Henry, the liaison with Pine-Richland School District, told the supervisors Monday night that he had met with school district representatives and they thought the township had set aside money for the project. Through a series of miscommunications, the school district thought that should be an obligation of the township," Chairman Michael Dennehy added. Pine-Richland School District will pay the bulk of the $1.1 million cost of the project. In January, the school board granted the contract to low bidder Lane Construction. The traffic signals will be added at the PRHS …
