PENNDOT
Condemns Area Apartment Residents to a Life of Truck Traffic |
|
| | How
could Senator Mike Stack and State Representative George Kenney do this to their
elderly consituents? | | The
green space that flanks the south side two senior apartment buildings will
be destroyed. The
residents living in the 6-story Ephraim Goldstein Aparments and the 3-story
Arthur and Estelle Sidewater House Aparments will have a birds eye view of the
new roadway that will be built very close to their back patio. The
replacement of the CSX Bridge will release fleets of trucks onto the new roadway,
and it will become the new tractor-trailer truck route in their backyard.
