Chester Avenue, stated that without with some positive amount of restriction to the traffic that cuts through, he doesn’t see how any of the Chief’s recommendations will deter the traffic.

Chief Gardner stated that he mentioned to Council about having Penndot check the timing on the York Road signals and he also stated that Moreland and Chester are where most of the problems are occurring.

KGS citizens who are rising senior in high school will spend the week intensively working together to self-govern the state of “Keystone,” meant to model current Pennsylvania’s local, county, and state government. Citizens will have the opportunity to campaign and run for office, draft and present legislation in the KGS House of Representatives and Senate, and to be actively involved in the Judiciary System as modeled by the state of Pennsylvania. At the end of the week, two KGS citizens will be nominated to attend Girls Nation.
