When the Rockefeller Group proposed building warehouses on Weaversville Road in East Allen Township, the supervisors listened to the residents, weighed all the pros and cons and voted not to change the zoning to allow the warehouses to be built. Now the Rockefeller Group is suing East Allen Township to allow these warehouses.
I guess they think they know what is best for our township — or is it the residents who have lived here for 50-plus years and have traveled these roads who know what is best?
Also, David Jandl proposed building warehouses between Seemsville Road and Howertown Road, with additional tractor-trailers entering and exiting the property.
I really think PennDOT needs to do another traffic check after the two warehouses, which are now under construction, are completed and when traffic hits our roads. This additional traffic (tractor-trailers and cars) will cripple this area, which almost looks like a parking lot at times now.
