From From page 1 The issue of cyclists was raised by a borough resident at a recent bor- h council meeting, mpting Hogan to meet with Police Chief Charles Musial to make sure motorists and cyclists traveling Lakeside Drive are safe. “State law requires cyclists to ride no more than two abreast on state roads,” said Hogan. “Lakeside Drive becomes a whole lot narrower if you come upon a group of bicycles. We're just try- ing to get cyclists to ride single file.” Halsor, who par- ticipates in regular Wednesday evening rides coordinated by Mike Tomalis and leaving from Grotto Pizza at the lake, said the problem of cyclists riding more than two abreast occurs when the ride first starts. “In the beginning of the ride, there’s a lot of social- ~ xing among the riders,” @ said. “Beyond the e, the group thins out.” A resident of Dallas Borough but a Harveys Lake taxpayer and a member of that borough’s Environmental Advisory Council, Halsor said there are sometimes as many as 40 riders on ‘the Wednesday evening ‘rides. “It’s challenging to manage a large group of riders,” he said, reporting that prior to the begin- ning of the ride, Tomasik talks about the route the group will take, reviews safety issues and reminds cyclists they should not ride more than two abreast while on Lakeside Drive. “We need to be vigi- lant about letting riders know they should not be more than two abreast,” he said. “But a lot of motorists don’t give us the required four feet on a pass, either.” Hogan, who says he is only looking out for the safety of bicyclists and motorists, says cyclists must follow the same rules of the road as opera- tors of motor vehicles. Cyclists must stop at stop signs and must obey the speed limit of 35 miles an hour on Lakeside Drive. “Our police officers have pulled a couple of cyclists over for running stop signs,” Hogan said. “They have issued warn- ings but no citations. We just want to get the warn- ing out to them that they are being watched.” Musial thinks that, because of cell phones, the issue of cyclists on Lakeside Drive may be blown out of proportion. “As soon as someone sees something, like a cyclists going through a stop sign, they’re on their cell phone with 911,” he said, reporting there have only been two incidents involving a bike and a motor vehicle in the 13 years he’s been with the borough police depart- ment with only minor injuries reported in both of those incidents. “Bicycles have a right to the roadway but they have to follow the rules of the road,” Musial said. “And motorists have to have consider- ation for bicycles, under the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code. “I probably travel the lake road more than any- one in the borough,” Musial added. “I’ve never had an issue with a biker not moving to the fur- thest right when I come upon them.” Musial said most motorists are aware that cyclists use the lake road so they slow down; how- ever, some motorists are in too much of a hurry and don’t like slowing down when they come upon a cyclist.

X-Cell From page 1 of the borough currently does npt receive adequate cell phone reception. The 100 ft. area will be considered a commercial parcel, with its own pin number for tax purposes. Initially, only 50 x 50 feet will be used for the tower with room to expand if other carriers wish to join withanchor provider, AT&T. The entire construction process should take about four to six weeks, depend- ing on the weather, according to Calabretta. Planning Commission President Larry Radel said the planning board had made a request that the 195 ft. tower be low- ered to a height of only 10 to 20 percent higher than the tallest tree in the area, as a courtesy to residents, but the zoning department had already approved the 195 ft. vari- ance. X-Cell will now submit the revised documents to the county in the final stage of the process. No date has been scheduled as to when the tower’s construction will begin.
