Waynesboro's square to get redesign

Big plans: State Sen. Terry Punt, R-Waynesboro, discusses plans for Waynesboros square on Thursday at Waynesboro Country Club.

Oh goody, finally!!!! But are we still waiting on the stupid brick for the square? We all know that Waynesboro's square will be the new Greenwich Village with sidewalk cafe's, etc.

Let's just get this over with. Get traffic moving through downtown as fast as possible because to be honest folks, there's nothing to see here. Just drive on through. No amount of parking will change the fact that downtown Waynesboro is dead and the last rights should have been given years ago.

good one! Towny

....will this stop our pedestrians from strolling out in the crosswalk without waiting for vehicles to stop!

PennDOT has been trying to force Waynesboro to change its square for years. Why? Greencastle has it's round square. So does Chambersburg. Hell, even Gettysburg. Have you seen the amount of traffic that goes through there?

I, for one, would like to know why PennDOT is so intent on getting Waynesboro to change its square. These squares give each town its own unique character. Why does no one care about historic preservation?

As a Waynesboro native, I think this is a travesty. Someone's feet should be held to the fire. Punt, Rock, the borough council, etc.

This is precisely the thought process that has held up this long overdue project. The square is not going anywhere, its being given a much needed facelift and improved safety for pedestrians and motorists alike. Senators’ Punt and Rock (especially Punt though, my hat is off to you) should be applauded for bringing these much needed improvements to downtown Waynesboro.
