Guest Speakers
Kinney and Associates presented information on the Willow by-pass and said it is possible a by-pass may be needed by 2025. Their proposed by-pass would be two lanes and has several options (see attached). WACO asked for a more detailed study and wanted to know what the next step should be. Kinney and Associates suggested working with the Borough and State to have the by-pass put into a planning document. Concerns were voiced about the northern alternative by-pass as they would go through very swampy land and cross a number of recreation trails.
