Sharon city manager Bob Fiscus says he's meeting with PennDOT officials Thursday.
He's going to bring up concerns people have been raising after a slew of accidents at Spencer Avenue and E. Connelly Boulevard, and see if the Department will agree to close off that intersection to buy some time to find a permanent solution.

That would have to happen since it involves a city road intersecting with a state road.
Any final solutions would also have to be OK'd by city council.
Fiscus blames distracted drivers for the many accidents at that intersection.
He calls a temporary closure a prudent decision if PennDOT agrees, which he believes it will.

"PennDOT is, I think seems supportive of us, they want to work with us to come up with the right solution," said Fiscus. "Right now they're helping us with what the guidelines are, what the requirements are to, if we do temporarily close this intersection, that we close it right and make sure we don't make things worse or create a new hazard when we're trying to mitigate the old one."

In the meantime, Fiscus says the city has done some homework about where new signage could be put in the event of that temporary closure.
