A utility pole that snapped in half when a pick-up truck crashed into it last year near Raceway Plaza will finally be soon. The pole located on Route 50 across from the former Damon’s restaurant in Collier Township has been stabilized at the base by large, wooden splints since the crash. But the pole has been leaning slightly ever since the driver, who was seriously injured in the crash, plowed into it while coming home from work on Dec. 10. Some emergency responders expressed concern about its stability and thought it should be replaced.

We’re asking our readers what you want to see go into the former Cici's Pizza location in the Chartiers Valley Shopping Center after it closed months ago.
Cici’s Pizza at Chartiers Valley Shopping Center has been closed for months, so we’re asking our readers what you want to see go into the former restaurant’s location. The empty restaurant along highly-traveled Route 50 is just a few doors down from Dunham’s sporting goods store and the DMV. It would make a perfect spot for a new restaurant or shop. What does this area need that it doesn’t already have nearby? So, if you could see any business in this location, what would you like in the plaza? If not a restaurant, what else do you see here? Use your imagination and tell us in the comment section! Like the Chartiers Valley Patch Facebook page or sign up for our Daily E-mail Newsletter!

There are only a few more shopping days left before Christmas and the strip malls and stores that dot Route 50 from Bridgeville to Heidelberg are expected to be packed.

I am so tired of construction! I know this is when it HAS to be done, but could we please finish something before we start another?

By the way...I almost NEVER see anyone working at the construction sight on Prestly. I heard there is a certain contractor that bid on … more ›
