Surely the rest of you have not missed seeing the demolished rock monument and game land sign that used to be posted on 117 as you enter Mt. Gretna from Mt. Wilson Rd.? So it is, another driver lost control of his vehicle and completely destroyed the Game Land sign and monument (yes, a rock monument). Who is claiming that one...bet that black vehicle was totaled by the insurance provider.
Seems like there STILL is a very serious problem here--a problem that is not corrected by lashing out at one or two vocal residents. And, it seems like that problem has been complained about for many years by many others. Just read this excerpt from a Groce newsletter, Feb. 2006:
""""TEN TOPICS ON MT. GRETNA TONGUES THIS WINTER...
Topic No. 10: Did I see speed checks, using honest-to-goodness chase cars, in Mt. Gretna several times last week? Indeed you did. Cornwall Borough police say they’ve received complaints about trucks, cars and motorcycles speeding through town along Rte. 117, especially during mornings and late afternoons. “We’ll continue to conduct those checks at unannounced times and places,” says Chief Bruce Harris.""""
So, again, I have to ask, why won't Harris, Allwein, Care, et alia respond to the more recent complaints, and, why didn't Harris continue these "unannounced" checks?
Can it it be, Toto, that hypocrisy and failure to perform their public duties have infected their better judgment? What exactly are they trying prove? This problem/concern hasn't changed, except that its gotten worse. Trust me, fate will give you what you are asking for, Bill, Chuck, and Bruce--unfettered speeding on a road chock full of vulnerable people, all year long.
Again, exactly what point are you trying to prove, guys?
