Brodhead Road runs from the Moon Township line in Allegheny County to Route 18 in Monaca and a ZOOM meeting that was open to the public for comment was held Wednesday night.  The road is an 11 mile stretch that runs through Hopewell  Township and planners are looking  at commercial and residential growth in the next 20-30 years and discussed ways to make the road safer. Two of the problem areas are Five Points where  traffic travels from 4 directions, and Pleasant Drive in Center Township. where traffic enters and  exits onto Brodhead Road. There is no funded transportation project on the corridor, officials said. The meeting was the second of a series in order to draft a plan for safety, growth and development in the area.
