October 27, 2021 4:10 am

North Strabane Township Supervisors held their Legislative meeting on Tuesday night and traffic concerns were addressed. Supervisors approved a measure to purchase and install cameras at three intersections. Those intersections are Route 19 and McClelland Road, Morganza Road and McClelland Road and Route 19 and Houston Hill Church Road. Township Manager Andrew Walz indicated that they are needed to enhance coverage for police related incidents as opposed to trying to catch people who are speeding. Supervisors also voted to approve a measure to join a lawsuit with South Fayette Township. South Fayette asked that North Strabane lend its name in an effort to prevent tolls from being charged on Interstate 79 near the Bridgeville exit. Supervisors also will appropriate $154,800 of American Rescue Plan funds to complete their MS4 storm water management project for the year 2022 that is required by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. Supervisors also approved a zoning change from R-2 to C-2 on Burkett Road to allow for construction of an outdoor wedding venue and they approved the construction of a billboard off of McClelland Road to advertise to drivers heading north on Interstate 79.
