Progress On Parks & Roads Development In Peters

Township Manager Paul Lauer and Township Engineer Mark Zemaitis updated Peters Township Council on the progress of the realignment of E. McMurray Road and the early development phase of Rolling Hills Park. Zemaitis indicated that the project is on schedule and the road will be open at the beginning of 2021. The realignment will be causing traffic delays as the new road gets tied into the old one. Zemaitis and Lauer suggest alternate routes for the next couple of weeks to avoid any traffic delays. Lauer said that bids will be opened on October 29 for the next phase of the park development. The road that carries traffic through the park and the picnic pavilions that will be located on the Great Lawn are of the park are to begin construction by year’s end. Preliminary drawings of the new aquatic park were also displayed. Bids are scheduled for next spring with a Memorial Day 2022 opening planned. An additional marketing study was done. It confirmed that there is a market for an aquatic park of this type. It will not be limited to Peters Township residents only. The study includes residents from neighboring communities to enjoy the water park also.
