Rachel Dziak made her opinion known last week when she ap- pealed to the borough council to halt installation of the guardrails. PennDOT is in its second year of a 10-year project that will put up guardrails along most of Lakeside Drive. A spokesperson for PennDOT said the state has insti- tuted a policy of installing the guardrails because of a lawsuit filed against the state. Dziak said that not only are the guardrails unattractive but she feels there is a safety hazard in- volved with some of the areas where they were installed. “There is only about 15 inches between the rails and the roadway and that causes problems for people who are walking or cycling on the roadway,” said Dziak. “Even if I stand on my property behind the guardrails and lean over just a little the cars move to avoid me.” Dziak said that she contacted PennDOT about the situation but was told that things will progress as planned. “I don’t know what to do next,” said Dziak. “I feel like I'm living on an off-ramp of Interstate 81 be- cause when I come down my drive- way all I see are guardrails.” She also feels that some guard- rails are being put where they are not needed. “I live along a straight stretch and was even told by one PennDOT person that it was an unlikely place to put the guard- rails,” said Dziak. “The put up extra rails on my property because of a telephone pole on my land but right down the road there is a pole with no guardrails,” she added. The borough council is looking into the situation, according to President William Wilson. “We have someone contacting the state but RAILS OF CONTROVERSY - Chose auardralls which are being placed around Lakeside Drive in Harveys Lake have at least one resident upset. Rachel Dziak says that the guardrails are unattrac- tive and are a safety hazard because they are too close to the road.

They notified us earlier this year that they would be putting the guard- rails in but they did not tell us when or where.” Dziak felt that the council should have known more about the proj- ect. “You should have contacted the homeowners about the work,” she said at the meeting. She also believes that the coun- cil should have considered paying an extra five dollars per foot for wooden guardrails that are more attractive than the steel ones. Wilson said that the borough did not opt for the wooden rails because ofthe cost. “You're talking about five dollars per foot for 4,600 feet,” said Wilson. Dziak said that she thought Lake (continued from page 1) Districtabout purchasing the light, which will cost approximately $3,500. “They (the school district) said that they could not afford to put the light in,” said Sgarlat. “To me that says that our kids aren't worth $3,500.” Sgarlat said that the light would have to be put in by the borough. Councilman Richard Boice agreed with Sgarlat and said that once the lightis installed the borough should go back to the school district to see if they would pay for part of the costs.

He also said that Dziak's con- cerns over safety are being directed to PennDOT's engineers. Dziak also argued that she could not get to part of her lakeside prop- erty because of the guardrails. “Crews have to come out and make an opening for me to get my lawn- mower through,” said Dziak. PennDOT officials say that they will help out property owners with any problems caused by the rails.

That idea caused Stephen to pauze, but only for al 4 moment. “There are a lot of people who by really like those ducks,” he said. “People break off bread and feed it - to the ducks.

The family often eats at Pickett's Charge and he has grown up watching the birds. He said that the way they cross the road worries him. “The all cross in the same spot every time,” like alittle path thatis programmed id into their brain.” The ducks do cross the voad several times a day but so far there really haven't been many incidents in that area.
