Gilpin went without dissolution after he had initiated the superiors

A gate over a private street in Gilpin continues to attract the anger of some residents, but there is little that the community can do about it.

The gate, which was built in the Upper Godfrey Road near Lower Allegheny Drive at the beginning of this year, is a security risk, according to complaints from residents, which block access to houses and huts in a sore section of the community along the Allegheny River.

Both streets in this area are privately owned and are not under control over the community.

The youngest dust defender over the gate took place the Township Supervisors this week. The residents focused on the supervisor Jeremy Smail, who set up the goal.

“You decided to stop the entire emergency distance from Godfrey,” said Dave Booth, a resident of Upper Godfrey.

Booth said the Upper Godfrey Road flooded about three times a year because she is sitting at the Allegheny River.

He said that trees fall and block the street often enough that the residents go out under the Lower Allegheny Drive, and the campers in the adjacent former Johnetta campsite have done the same thing over the years. Booth claimed that the gate had a security problem and could effectively leave the residents on both streets that are stranded in an emergency.

“Everyone knows that the first place where the river is flooded is the stream at the end of the Godfrey Hill,” said Vince Mildner, who lives in Upper Godfrey, Vince Mildner. “Everyone from there, to Johnetta (street) at the moment because of this goal there is no escape.”

Smail, who announced in March, he built the goal, said he did this at the request of the street owner Armstrong Trail. Upper Godfrey runs parallel to the Armstrong Trail in this area and belongs to the way.

Chris Ziegler, Managing Director of Armstrong Trails, confirmed that she asked Smail to set up the gate after taking several complaints from the inhabitants of supreme that Johnetta Camper used the private roads, and campers who claimed the residents of Godfrey used the street of the trail.

“We try to be friendly to our neighbors,” she said. “I also don't want trail users to enter private property and park.”

Smail and his wife, the president of the school authority of Leechburg Area, Ashley Coudriet, have the former Johnetta Campground, which is now called White Rock Station and is located along the Lower Allegheny Drive and also belongs by Armstrong Trails.

Smail said that he shares an exclusive right to Way agreement with Armstrong Trails, which he inherited last summer when he bought the Johnetta property, and has the right to enforce Ziegler's wishes in order to prevent intruders from private road. Smail said it was simply not a municipal edition.

“Trail Property. Trail Gate,” said Smail.

Smail also has a goal on the lower Allegheny Drive, where it becomes private property.

In terms of security for security, Ziegler gives the gate available for all emergency services key to the gate. First aiders have a universal key that open the castle boxes on or near closed structures, block the streets on the hiking house.

“All EMS, fire and police stations have access to this key,” she said. “It is no different from goals on the way.”
