Point Boro's Mistletoe Avenue to Re-open Today and Close on Monday

A broken drainage pipe had to be replaced

Mistletoe Avenue is re-opening Friday afternoon, but will close again on Monday for road resurfacing necessitated by repair to a broken drainage pipe, according to Point Borough Public Works. Mistletoe has been closed in both directions between Riverwood Ave and Oak Terrace part of Thursday into Friday because an old, rotted drainage pipe collapsed and had to be replaced, said Michael Pizzi, Public Works Water and Sewer Supervisor on Friday afternoon. The road will be closed for most of the day on Monday so crews can lay the final layer of black coat, which will finish the job, and then the road will be re-opened, Pizzi said. He said earlier reports that there had been a water main break on the road were actually incorrect.

We don't have the facts as to what the traffic flow was that eve.to cause those 2 drivers to hit this man. I've been in too many situtations to know better where I needed to get over into the other lane and had some close calls b/c there was just too much traffic in the other lane. We all know it's a split-second situation in most cases. I certainly know that I wouldn't want my kid to be the one …   more ›
