New BenMont intersection hurts local gas stations
The BenMont Avenue Route 7 connector cut patronage at Don's Shell DeMarco's Sunoco and Lehigh station. Don Cottrell reports sales down about 50 percent with rising empty pumps and looming closure. DeMarco says tourist and local customers are gone while Lehigh remains viable with signs visible from the road and plans to rebalance pumps. The piece notes highway-induced disruption and the broader impact on small businesses.
