New Pennsylvania Law Allows People to Eat Roadkill
Every time I see roadkill on the side of the highway or road I wonder what happens to it. Does it stay there? Does someone come and pick it up and dispose of it? Do other animals eat it? Is it even safe to eat? Well, apparently, roadkill can be safe to eat, even for humans.
There are currently thirty states that allow for roadkill consumption by humans according to Wide Open Eats. Most states have restrictions including Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Pennsylvania law states that the incident must be reported to the state Game Commission within 24 hours, otherwise it is not legal to consume the animal. In New Jersey, however, the only roadkill that is legal to consume is deer and you must have a permit to do so. Some neighboring states that join PA and NJ in this list are New York, Maryland, and Ohio.

Updated Apr 14, 2021;
SHAMOKIN DAM – Major traffic delays are anticipated Thursday in Snyder County for southbound motorists on Routes 11 and 15.
The southbound driving lane on each highway in advance of their merger in Shamokin Dam is scheduled to be closed between 8:30 a.m. and 6 p.m.
The closure is required to permit a soil remediation project at the scene of an earlier accident, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation says.
Major delays are anticipated and motorists should be alert for stopped or slow-moving vehicles, PennDOT says.

A White House report rates Pennsylvania’s infrastructure at a C- after decades of “systemic” underfunding.
The analysis concludes that historic levels of investment via the American Jobs Plan will fix the state’s more than 3,300 deficient bridges and 7,500 miles of crumbling roads that the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation lacks resources to address.
PennDOT’s funding woes remain a perennial problem for the General Assembly as it strategizes ways to close the agency’s $9.3 billion budget gap that don’t involving tolling bridges, as proposed by the Pathways Major Bridge P3 Initiative. Without any action, PennDOT’s shortfall will nearly double over the coming decade.

A developer wants to raze a closed-down pigment plant and put in a warehouse and business center, according to the Wilson Borough solicitor.
Borough solicitor Stan Margle said a sketch plan for the site off Route 22 at the 13th Street interchange was submitted to the borough about three weeks ago from NorthPoint Development of Kansas City, Missouri.
Margle said the plan won’t have the level of truck traffic one might expect from a 1 million-square-foot warehouse development.
“It’s going to be one or two large tenants that will be in part distribution or logistics and the other part a business center” with a modest number of offices, Margle said.
