From staff reports
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is inviting the public to an online plans display for a study to identify potential projects to improve the safety and drivability of the intersection of Route 157 and Horsecreek Road in Cranberry Township.
The study will examine the existing design, traffic data, and crash history of the intersection, located about 4.5 miles southeast of Oil City and 3.1 miles northeast of Seneca.
Through the study process and interviews with local officials and residents, possible updates will be developed to improve the intersection operations, PennDOT said in a news release. The findings and recommendations will be included as part of a future roadway project on Route 157.
The purpose of the online plans display is to introduce the project and receive public input regarding any questions or concerns, PennDOT said. It is also an opportunity for the public to review and comment on the project’s potential effect upon Cultural Resources pursuant to the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation’s 36 CFR Part 800 regulations implementing Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.
Those unable to access the information online may give feedback by contacting PennDOT Project Manager Kyle Barker at kybarker@pa.gov or (814) 678-7166.
The project documents will be made available in alternative languages or formats if requested. People in need of translation/interpretation services or who have special needs or special concerns that require individual attention should contact Barker.
