I've been told before, and as a disclaimer I don't know how accurate it is, that if you report a pothole that the city or state has 72 hours or some other time limit to patch it. If any damage occurs to vehicles after that (blown tire, bent rim, broken tie rod, and it can be proven that it was caused by that pothole(document it with photos etc)) then the city/state has to pay for it.

Like I said though I'm not sure just how accurate that is.

Stony, i cant be certain, but that guy fishing sure looks like the Goblin dude!

Hey citizen, I didn't notice the guy down the street fishing! Thanks for pointing that out!

It gave me another brilliant idea!

How about instead of wasting money filling potholes and paving the streets, we instead, STOCK the potholes with fish?

We can stock them with carp, suckers, chubs and cat fish!

Then when Linda Devlin pushes to make Bradford "best-est fishing destination ever" next year, it will be less of a joke!

Especially if nearly every street in Bradford is fishable!

I'm always thinking outside the box!

This will be the whole Tuna Valley if the COG gets it way. I was slow to see the little guy fishing.

It is great how I am reading that people are traveling out to Foster Brook to shop. Main Street Bradford has many nice independent shops that needs the support of the community. Do the shop keepers have to pay that gross business tax on all they sell??

The traffic at the intersection of East Main and Derrick Road doesn't look like it is going to get any better. Behind Tim Horton's looks like someone is building something there, but my understanding they were shut down due to a lack of a traffic study, of course this is speculation since residents don't have any facts due to the lack of transparency in Foster Township.

Patton,
Thanks for your concern on the Foster Brook intersection. No one was shut down due to lack of permitting. But there is definately activity taking place on the Derrick Road side of the intersection.
At the last Foster Township work session, an attendee asked the supervisors what was going on in regard to the intersection. Supervisor Phillips told this person that he (Philips) is the person who owns the property.
I would like to thank Supervisor Phillips for his recent purchase of this property. By doing so, he removed a blighted house from the township. The Foster Township residents will not have to wait for a tax sale to have this blighted house taken care of.
As to permitting, I don't know what Mr Phillips' intentions are in regard to his recent purchase, but he is aware of all the necessary permits required to develope that property.

Another car lot is what I heard about the torn down dump site. We need a lead light to turn left onto Derrick Road from the Mall area. As for pulling out of Tim Horten's, I'm suprised an accident has not happened yet!

I thought Supervisor Phillips was aware of the traffic congestion at the intersection since people complain constantly. I believe a highway occupancy permit is required to have any more traffic pulling onto Derrick Road. I have been told that Penn Dot is watching.

Watching what?

YOU!

good post billy. who cares who is watching? besides the more transparent things are the more honest they tend to be. nothing wrong with public scrutiny. that intersection needs less congestion not more. its a nightmare during busy times. im surprised phillips isnt proposing a shooting range on that property. its right behind the police hang out.
