MT. PLEASANT TOWNSHIP, Pa. — A Mt. Pleasant Man who has lived on Mount Pleasant Road for more than 20 years says increased traffic recently and it is concerning. Bob Ersick tells our news partners at Channel 11 that increased PennDOT work will make the situation worse. “My biggest concerns are getting in and out of my driveway and taking the value away from my property,” he said. PennDOT has discussed this plan on Route 119 for 15 years because there have been numerous crashes at these intersections, there was one just last week. The hope, PennDOT said, is that these changes will make that stretch of 119 safer. “I realize we can’t save everybody, but I believe everybody’s worth saving,” said Jeremy Hughes, Assistant District Executive of Design with PennDOT. The project would remove the traffic lights at two intersections, install on and off ramps, build a bridge across Route 119, and install a roundabout on Mount Pleasant Road. Ersick’s house and driveway will be right on the roundabout. “I would have not bought this if this was here,” Ersick said. “There’s no way. I don’t know anybody that would.” Ersick has hired an attorney and wants PennDOT to buy his whole property. PennDOT said bids for the project will go out this summer, with some utility work starting late summer or early fall.
