Union project delays as traffic and wetlands curb plans
Union Township residents face traffic, access, and wetlands concerns as Metrovitalization seeks approval for a new development. The plan would reduce from three to one 90‑foot wide access with two lanes each side, potentially adding about 2,060 trips daily at full capacity. Planning officials cite West State Street impact and permit needs, while wetlands and a narrow 48 inch trail raise design questions. The Kingdom Place builder in Hickory Township plans a model home by July with weekly drone updates.
