Council asks for safer intersection
GREENCASTLE, Pa. - The Greencastle Borough Council authorized sending a letter to Antrim Township and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation to support improved sight distance at the intersection of Williamson Avenue and Colonial Drive.
The proposal is to fill in the low area on Williamson Avenue south of Colonial Drive. The developer of the Greens of Greencastle would construct and pay for the improvements, according to borough documents.
Council member Don Coldsmith said he is concerned with the heavy trucks that use the intersection, and with the school bus stop at the end of Colonial Drive just over the crest of the hill.
Councilman Gerald Pool said "it's only a matter of time till you have a major (accident) there."
Charles Eckstine said that while the council cannot deny the developer access to Colonial Drive, it can try to make it as safe as possible.
