Proponents of a plan to establish electronic tolls on U.S. Route 422, through Limerick, Lower Pottsgrove and Pottstown, appeared to make headway Monday with a 42-member state commission.
Pottstown wants to attract more business to its tax base. So does neighboring Lower Pottsgrove Township, and other municipalities. A new study could determine how, if at all, every entity can win.
A special commission appointed by Gov. Corbett to explore transportation funding options reportedly will see a presentation June 6 that promotes tolling on U.S. Route 422 as a model to be used statewide.
Growing consumer demand for convenience is a driving force behind a decade of changes in grocery retailing, like those occurring at the Route 422 "Gateway At Sanatoga" complex, according to a new report.
PennDOT said it will close lanes Wednesday on Route 422 through Lower Pottsgrove for a bridge inspection. It plans other closures Sunday and Monday between Collegeville and Oaks.
