From the transcript
A couple items on the agenda that took some time. One was, as you know, there's been controversy and a need for better connections of Engstrom Road and Bogard, and that project has been going on for several years. The latest report is that there will be a roundabout, and it should be here within the next year, 18 months, but still a lot of traffic at that intersection. So the borough had proposed a northern route to take from Engstrom over to Trunk, but also on the agenda was a southern route which would do the same, but it's closer to the Bogard Road rather than to the end of Engstrom to Trump. And so there was lots of testimony, lots of support.
