Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Lancaster County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Big Conestoga bridge projects
Two new contracts — $113,140 for inspections and $76,800 for construction administration — move the Big Conestoga 7A and 7B bridge projects forward, paid from liquid fuels funds.
Covered bridge protection signs
After repeated vehicle strikes, the county is buying 35 solar-powered flashing LED signs for its five most vulnerable covered bridges. The signs flash constantly to catch the eye of out-of-area drivers unfamiliar with the low, narrow bridges.
Norman Wood Bridge future planning
The county is spending $36,658 — mostly federal money — on travel data to figure out who uses the 1968 Norman Wood Bridge and how. The aging bridge needs repairs soon, and this data will shape what happens to it.
