CLEARFIELD – A new traffic pattern is causing some headaches at an old intersection in Clearfield Borough.
On Thursday evening at the Clearfield Borough Council meeting, Police Chief Vincent McGinnis asked the public to please watch the traffic signs and traffic patterns.
“We’ve stopped 300 cars,” said McGinnis. He stated that those traveling eastbound, looking to go up Brewery Hill, need to be in the right lane; the left lane is only for turning into CVS. For those coming down the hill, the right hand lane is the only lane used to make the right curve.
Mayor Jim Schell asked motorists to show some patience.
“Nobody likes change,” commented Schell. “That intersection, by its nature and design, is a tough one.”
Clearfield Borough Operations Manager Leslie Stott said she and other borough employees have been on the phone with PennDOT and CVS representatives.
“We are trying to come up with some solutions,” said Stott.
She said that the developer has been extremely cooperative, but that everyone is getting frustrated with it.
“We just need to get everyone aware of the changes,” said Stott.
