The proposed truck route map was submitted to Upper Macungie supervisors for review.

They agreed to proceed with the ordinance to legalize the map.

Some trucks will be banned from certain designated roads.

Roads restricting trucks with trailers over 50 feet include all or portions of: Schantz, Krocks, Blue Barn, Lone Lane, Ruppsville, Chapmans, Memorial, Hilltop, Mill, Arrowhead and Wood lanes, Oldt and Weiss.

Anticipated or potential township roads qualifying for restrictions include all or portions of Schaeffer Run, Mosser, Twin Ponds, Tillage, Long Lane, Haas Hill, Newtown, Folk, Dietrich, Oldt and Nursery.

Potential state roads include Adams, Church Street, Cetronia and Hilltop.

The next step in the process would be to address signage to establish the routes.

In other matters, Greg Stroude, PPL representative, notified supervisors the company will be erecting a new transmission line from the Long Lane substation to the Fogelsville substation.

The 90-foot poles will be spaced from 700 feet to 800 feet apart.

Stroude requested and received permission from the board to survey the line.

Supervisors adopted a resolution to finalize receipt of a $45,000 grant from the Green Light Go fund for traffic signal emergency preemption.

They also approved a resolution adopted to accept the assets, liabilities, property and any other items of the Upper Macungie Authority.

The township will now have control of the facility.
