State College Seeking Speed Limit Reduction on Park Avenue

State College is looking to reduce the speed limit from 35 mph to 25 mph on an approximately half-mile section of Park Avenue. Borough staff determined that the stretch of Park Avenue between North Atherton Street and Shortlidge Road along the northern edge of the Penn State campus appears to meet the definition of a residence district in the state vehicle code eligible for a 25 mph limit posting, transportation engineer Ron Seybert told the State College Transportation Commission on Tuesday. Borough Manager Tom Fountaine has sent a letter to PennDOT requesting a review, which has been forwarded to the department's traffic unit that performs such studies, Seybert said. "It is a state route so they would have to do that investigation to determine if it meets that criteria as a residence district," he said. "If so, then it would be eligible to be posted at 25mph." Transportation Commission Chair Hugh Mose said the speed limit on Park Avenue within the borough limits has been a matter of interest for the commission at least since a Penn State graduate student was killed by a speeding driver three years ago . Ahmed M. Alqubaisi was driving at an unsafe speed along

Josh Shapiro has said he’s “very open” to opting his state into the Trump-backed federal scholarship tax credit program. But he may wait until after the midterm elections to make his official decision. In an October gubernatorial debate appearance, Shapiro said while other governors have “shut the door on it,” he’s not one of them. He said his administration is “continuing to digest” the recently released rules governing the program . “I think prudence here makes the most sense,” Shapiro said. “We’re looking at it carefully, and in the next few weeks, we’ll make our announcement.” Advocates in support of the program are optimistic his debate answer signals he’ll follow New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s lead . Governors have until January 1, 2027 to opt in to the program. Currently 31 states, most led by Republicans, have done so. Among Shapiro’s fellow Democratic governors, only Hochul and Colorado Gov. Jared Polis have voluntarily signed on. Democratic governors who have not yet announced
