Reports say thatthe car, infact, struck theend of the guard rails before going into the water. This was the second death in two years from a crash in the lake. William Davis, whose wife Judy was Killed two years ago when her car went into the lake, said that the state must step up its efforts at getting guard rails at the lake. He has a suit filed against the state in connection with his wife's accident and it appears it is this suit which actually got the project off the ground. In a letter to Harveys Lake Bor- : ®.n dated April 4, 1990, a PennDOT engineer stated that“...a recent court case in which the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was successfully sued, provided: the Department of Transportation with formal notice that a guide rail system must be installed in areas which are warranted around Har- veys Lake.” Even though the letter does not specify the lawsuit, Keisling ac- $i nowicdged that the Davis suit has affected the installation. “It shows that there is a direct effect,” said Keisling. “After all we are in the safety business and we want to make sure that the area is safe.” Despite these claims, some resi- dents feel the guard rails are not necessary and are an eyesore to the community. Last year the borough council was approached by property own- ers complaining that not enough was being done to stop the guard rails from being put in. Since that time, Keisling said that PennDOT has also heard complaints from property owners along Lakeside Drive. “We have met witha lot of stiff opposition,” said Keisling. He said that the crews installing the guard rails will work with property own- ers tomake sure thatopenings are provided for docks, boat houses and other facilities which now have access to the roadway. Despite this promise Keisling said that some residents do not want the guard rails at all. “We have offered. to work.with them but they don’twantany of it,” he said. “However, you can be assured that we are going to finish the project and not succumb to this type of pressure.” There also have been reports that some residents have had the guard rails removed from in front of their homes. One PennDOT engineer denied the report. “We had one case where a homeowner had the guard rails removed when a contractor did work on his boat house but the guard rails were put back in,” he said. Keisling added that he was not aware of any cases where the guard rails were removed but he did is- suea warning to anyone who would be contemplating the idea. “We would do everything we could to prosecute them,” he said. “They would be arrested and also held liable if anything happened.” For those residents who objected to the looks of the guard rails, PennDOT had offered to put in wooden guard rails which are more scenic. However, this proposal was turned down by the borough coun- cil fast.year, becatise thé cost for.

The leak was discovered when Officer Tru- man Brandt suspected the truck of being illegal and pulled it over.
