As hearing approaches, Probst highlights impacts of I-80 project

On a recent afternoon, state Rep. Tarah Probst (D-189th District) took a drive through Stroudsburg with constituent services adviser Jessica Smith to highlight just a few of the spots that the Interstate 80 widening project has already impacted. And there are bound to be even more issues if the project proceeds, Probst said, especially with the elimination of the Dreher Avenue exit. The representative places the blame on the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation for failing to do its due diligence in evaluating the properties which fall in the way of the widening project. “This has been going on since I was the mayor, and Stroudsburg Borough has been fighting it now for over 10 years. [PennDOT] just didn’t do their job,” said Probst, who this month won a third term in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. “They didn’t do an environmental impact statement — they took it in three sections, so they didn’t have to do that. And for whatever reason, I guess they believe that water doesn’t have connectivity.” Probst said the borough paid about $2,000 to conduct the studies on property near Bryant Street — a part of the next phase of the project — which confirmed “not
