During a recent government meeting, officials discussed ongoing safety concerns at the intersection of Lehigh and Chapel, particularly for residents near Moore's residence. An inquiry was made regarding the installation of a guardrail, but the engineer's office confirmed that they would not be able to provide one. Residents were informed that if they desired a physical barrier, they would need to take the initiative themselves.
The township acknowledged the risks associated with the intersection, emphasizing that while they have explored various options to mitigate danger, no further action could be taken from their end. The discussion highlighted the potential for accidents, particularly if traffic patterns shifted, posing a threat to nearby homes. Officials noted that the county would assist in identifying property lines to ensure any proposed barrier would not infringe on public right-of-way.
In a lighter segment of the meeting, updates were shared about Rob Bridal's retirement party, which remains on hold due to his deployment in Florida. Bridal, currently stationed in Fort Lauderdale, has been affected by recent storms and is awaiting a return home, which he assured would be in time for his family commitments, including his son Justin's wedding. Plans for the retirement celebration will be established once he is back and settled.
