POCOPSON – Officials discussed a mixed bag of topics at the Pocopson Township Supervisor’s meeting on Aug. 12.
Supervisors’ Chairman Steve Conary said plans for the roundabout linking Route 52, Wawaset, and Lenape-Unionville Roads are completed and awaiting the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s (PennDOT) final approval. Conary said, if approved, construction could begin and “we may have a roundabout by 2014.”
Township residents told officials that Pennsylvania State Police are questioning homeowners on Bragg Hill Road with regard to several acts of vandalism surrounding gates and signs closing a portion of the road to through traffic. Supervisors have reported several incidents since the gates were put in place where vandals have cut chains and locks and then used vehicles to ram the gates and mutilate and shoot at the signs.
