Penndot directed the owner of the home on the corner of Main Street and
West Mill Street to come to the Sugar Grove Borough concerning the water issue
on the corner where Penndot will be putting in a handi-cap accessible corner.
Dave Slater said he would speak with Adam Elms from Penndot about the issue.
Kent Wilcox asked Dave Slater if he
could get a copy of the handi-cap corner ramp blue prints when he speaks with
A. Elms. There are still more additions for the sidewalk blue prints required
