Old Business

Checked with PennDot if they would put a mirror at the intersection of Oak Ridge Road and Route 221 which are both state roads.  PennDot will not install a mirror. Solicitor Makel advised the township not to install a mirror themselves because of the liability issue.  Request was made to Buffalo Township to come in with a boom mower and clean the underbrush so you can see better at the intersection.
