Franklin County residents will have an opportunity to weigh in on transportation priorities during an open house at 4:30 p.m. Oct. 21 at the Franklin County Administrative Building, 272 N. Second St. in Chambersburg. The event is part of work on Franklin County’s 2050 Long-Range Transportation Plan, according to a community announcement.

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 .
