The November meeting of the West Marlborough Township supervisors was a brief one.
Supervisor Bill Wylie said the board met with PennDOT officials on Nov. 5 to talk about traffic conditions in the township. West Marlborough wants the state to reduce the maintenance level on some of its roads in an attempt to quell speeders and discourage drivers from taking back roads. Mr. Wylie said although no promises were made, "we're hopeful" that the roads in question "will be maintained in a more rural mode going forward."
Mr. Wylie and supervisor Hugh Lofting Sr. discussed Frank Lordi's plan to build a house on Byrd Road near Route 842. An electric line will have to be extended to the property, which sits on a narrow gravel road that forms the boundary with East Marlborough Township. The supervisors noted that part of the property is designated on the township's zoning map as a possible site of archaeological significance (as is much of the township); Mr. Lordi will have to get that resolved before breaking ground.
Mr. Lofting said that work on the bridge on Runnemede Road has started and completion is expected by Christmas.
Township secretary/treasurer Shirley Walton reported that, after she complained, the township's bank has stopped charging a monthly "lack of activity" fee but has not refunded the $45 in previous fees as promised.
