Worthy of recognition, Lower Pottsgrove commissioners agreed.
SANATOGA PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation hears more than its share of complaints, and rarely gets an “atta boy” for its successes. Time to change that, Scott Exley figures.
Exley, president of Bursich Associates – Lower Pottsgrove (PA) Township‘s engineering firm – observed Tuesday (Sept. 7, 2010) to the Board of Commissioners that PennDOT “accomplished what it said it would do” in renovating the formerly closed East High Street bridge crossing Sanatoga Creek: it ensured the bridge opened in time for school buses to roll across unimpeded by barriers or detours.
Lower Pottsgrove, which occasionally has taken PennDOT to task during to years of discussions over bridge repairs, might now want to express its thanks, Exley suggested. Commissioners, during their first of two monthly meetings, whole-heartedly agreed. “They did keep to the schedule,” board President Jonathan Spadt said of the agency’s planners.
Township Manager Rodney Hawthorne will write the letter on behalf of the board.

They made it. I think the pressure exerted in the last few weeks had a lot to do with it; it appeared stalled for a long while.
Thanks PennDOT for doing what we pay you to do; keep up the good work.
Proof, Ed, that it never hurts to keep people and organizations motivated.
WOW, I never thought they would finish – excellent
