The other bidders were Eastern Industries, Wescoesville, at $182,000 and Hazleton Site, Hazleton, at $161,520.The supervisors said that the PennDOT has completed a speed study on School Road, concluding that the speed limit could be posted at 40 mph. Currently, since the speed limit is not posted, it is 55 mph.At their next meeting, the supervisors plan to adopt a resolution setting the speed limit on School Road at 40 mph. They will also order speed limit signs. The supervisors also plan to establish a school speed limit zone around the West Penn Elementary School on School Road, with a flashing signal.Supervisors are also working on ordinances regarding flood plains, peddling and solicitation, and installation of building numbers. Although they discussed issues and wording regarding the pending ordinances, they took no action.When the ordinance regarding building numbers is established, it will be required that the addresses for buildings be clearly marked with numerals which are three inches high and an inch and a half wide. Although residents may purchase numbers anywhere, the West Penn Township Fire Company will be selling numbers as a fundraiser.Several issues regarding code enforcement were discussed. Last month, three driveways, a shed, a pond and a pool were constructed in the township without permits. Police Chief Brian Johnson suggested that the township police department play more of a role in reporting and responding to permit violations, since officers routinely patrol all the roads in the township.
