Snow Shoe Rails to Trails widen four gate bollards from 65 " to 70" in 2019. Those were Number 10 gate, Rt 144 Gate, McKinney Run Gate and the north side of Gorton Gate.
Yesterday, October 27, 2020, we started to widen a few more. Andy Basalla, Gary Halsnik & Larry Mayes widen the gate bollard from 65" to 70" on the Moshannon Community Center Road Gate. Mary Halsnik brought out the grill and cooked hamburgers and hot dogs for the workers. We want to thank Mary for cooking for the workers on a chilly day. We will be working to widen Creek Road gate/bollard soon.
SSRTA will be hiring Brooks Welding to widen Clarence Gate from 65" to 70". They will also be installing safety railing on the outside edge of gate widening.
Truck Stuff and More of Bellefonte has agreed to fund the widening of both entrance and exit bollards from 65" to 70" at the Gillentown Trailhead. That will also be done by Brooks Welding. We will place signs by each bollard advertising for the business that is funding the widening of the bollards. Brooks Welding will be scheduling the work soon for both Gillentown Trailhead and Clarence Gate.
If anyone is interested in funding widening of any of the gate bollards from 65" to 70", please let us know. We will place a sign at the gate/bollard advertising the business or person supporting the efforts. Brooks Welding will be performing any of the work that is to be done.
