Just what Route 224 needs — another traffic light

POLAND — Village officials believe a traffic light at U.S. Route 224 and the post office entrance would improve safety and reduce traffic tie-ups.

Village council passed a motion to pursue the requirements to secure a light at the Pennsylvania Avenue intersection, the location of the U.S. Post Office.

Ralph Mentzer, who works as a volunteer grant coordinator for the village, said he is pursuing grant funding through the Federal Highway Administration to cover the bulk of the cost for the new light.
