McKnight Road paving may finish by late October 1976
PennDot expects the 3.2 mile McKnight Road project to wrap by late October or November 1976 with Phase 2 of the TOPICS program, as drainage, utilities, and road work advance. Babcock Boulevard under the McKnight overpass should be completed by November, weather permitting, and new lighting and a synchronized traffic system are planned along the corridor.

North Hills teachers face Blue Cross premium plan shift
North Hills School District negotiator John McIntyre outlines a new offer to share Blue Cross Blue Shield premium increases. The district would pay 52 dollars monthly per teacher in years one to three, with teachers covering half of any rise above 52 dollars.
