Self-
Serving Government In Action The
PENNDOT- McCormick Taylor - Stack Team continue to promote the false perception
that extending the Woodhaven Expressway to the busy Bustleton Avenue Corridor
would actually solve the congestion issues at Byberry Road & Bustleton Avenue
in Somerton. | |
Senator Stack continues to use his political clout to authorize
PENNDOT and MT to resume work on this unwarranted highway expansion through established
residential and business communities in Somerton. However, the collective voices
of Somerton residents spoke out and continue to oppose this unwarranted highway
expansion.
And
some residents have even compared PENNDOT's tactics to organized crime. [Read
the information below to draw your own conclusion and see how this project has
never been about providing congestion relief --- but about paving the way for
industrial development and the new east-west tractor-trailer truck route.] | (1)

Selective Reporting | PENNDOT
refused to provide copies of meeting notes from 2005-06 working meetings to meeting
attendees | No
link - Northeast Times did not cover the second set of work sessions to avoid
reporting growing opposition in Somerton |

Needs to Address REAL Transporation Issues | | PENNDOT
should use Woodhaven Road Extension funding to help maintain the existing roadway
infrastructure to ensure public safety. PENNDOT must stop paying
McCormick Taylor to develop unacceptable alternatives that would create more negative
impacts than what the current situtation brings. | | |
