Weekend Warriors: PennDOT’s Plan to Replace a Local Bridge Without Disrupting Traffic

April 30, 2018 By Tim McNellie

Cars wait at a red light at the intersection of Washington Avenue and Chartiers Street in Bridgeville.

 Construction won’t start until the summer of 2020, but PennDOT’s plan to alleviate traffic congestion at the intersection of Route 50 and Washington Pike is already in progress. Earlier this month, PennDOT officials hosted a public meeting at the Bridgeville fire hall to explain the agency’s strategy, which includes widening some roads, adding additional… [Read More]

Banned From Parking Directly in Front of Their Homes, Some Mill Street Residents Are Not Happy

April 11, 2018 By Tim McNellie

A car parked on the sidewalk on Mill Street in Bridgeville

For the people who live on Mill Street near the sharp turn in the road, it’s just common sense to park as close to your house as possible, even if that means that your car straddles—or totally occupies—the sidewalk. Otherwise, you run the risk of getting sideswiped by a passing vehicle coming around the bend…. [Read More]

Tense Traffic Talk Ends With Ultimatum For Borough Council

February 20, 2018 By Tim McNellie

Bridgeville resident Bob Fryer holds a map while criticizing borough council's response to the area's traffic problems.

A resident’s comments about traffic congestion created some tension at last week’s Bridgeville Borough Council meeting. The awkwardness was punctuated with an ultimatum delivered to council. Council president Michael Tolmer seemed exasperated when Bob Fryer—a resident, former council candidate, and traffic engineering enthusiast—criticized the borough’s response to congested roadways, then began tracing the origins of… [Read More]

New Traffic Signals Will Use Real-Time, Shared Data to Ease Congestion

August 28, 2017 By Tim McNellie

The intersection of Washington Avenue and Bower Hill Road in Bridgeville.

The floppy disk-powered traffic signals at three Bridgeville intersections will soon be replaced by high-tech stop lights that use share data and real-time analysis to keep traffic moving. The new adaptive signals will be installed along Washington Avenue where it intersects with Station Street, Bower Hill Road, and Prestley Road. Once operative, the signals will… [Read More]

PennDOT Not Convinced That Left Turn Lane Is Essential At Washington-Chartiers Intersection

August 18, 2017 By Tim McNellie

Cars wait at a red light at the intersection of Washington Avenue and Chartiers Street in Bridgeville.

In theory, adding a dedicated left-turn lane from Washington Avenue onto Chartiers Street near the Rite-Aid store could help reduce some of the traffic problems plaguing the Greater Bridgeville area. If there was a left-turn stacking lane, drivers trying to go straight into South Fayette would no longer get stuck behind vehicles waiting to turn… [Read More]

Here’s Your Route 50 / Wash Pike Construction Update

July 19, 2017 By Tim McNellie

An overhead view of the intersection of Washington Pike and Route 50

Back in April, we reported on a construction project coming to the Route 50/Washington Pike intersection aimed at alleviating traffic problems by introducing new left turn lanes at major back-up points. We said that work would likely begin in May. Obviously, that didn’t happen. It seems that PennDOT hasn’t yet issued the necessary construction permits…. [Read More]

Bridgeville Police Are Writing A Lot of Traffic Tickets Lately

July 3, 2017 By Tim McNellie

If you’re driving through Bridgeville, this is probably not the best time to be speeding or blowing through red lights. In May, Bridgeville police wrote 95 traffic citations, councilman William Henderson told residents earlier this month, following a discussion about speeding and other traffic concerns. That figure is more than double the department’s average from… [Read More]
