More brightness could be the answer to enhance safety inside the tunnel under Route 248.

At Tuesday’s workshop, Bowmanstown Borough Council members discussed possibly putting better lighting in the tunnel as a deterrent.

Earlier this month, council debated whether cameras would improve safety measures inside the tunnel.

At that time, council said the borough would need to provide electric to the tunnel, and Blue Ridge Communications would install the cameras.

Last month, council said it planned to look into putting security cameras in the tunnel, but that doing so would require electric and internet access.

Council then inquired with Blue Ridge Communications on the cost of internet access in the tunnel.

In March 2022, a mural in the tunnel was vandalized.

It was noted at that time that graffiti had returned under the tunnel where the Bowmanstown Area Residents Connected hung the entire mural.
