You wouldn't believe what the speed limit is on Bolichs Road in West Penn Township.

Bolichs Road is a small, narrow dirt road with hard curves. It begins on Route 309 and winds around until it connects with Blue Mountain Drive at the foot of the Blue Mountain.The speed limit on that road is technically 55 mph.Last month, residents along the road asked that the speed limit be reduced. The supervisors agreed that nobody could possibly travel 55 mph on that road, but they didn't want to lower the speed limit and set a precedent.This week, the supervisors relented somewhat. They agreed to drop the speed limit providing developers along the road pay for new speed limit signs and the cost involved in creating an ordinance designating the change.The ordinance is scheduled for adoption at the next meeting of the supervisors at 7 p.m. on Nov. 2 in the West Penn Township Fire Company.In the same ordinance, it was approved to have a yield sign installed at the intersection of Lumber Road and Mush Dahl Road.Other business• Chris Pantella of Andreas said a property next to hers - 12 feet away - is in total disrepair.
