Franklin Park's police chief will outline efforts tonight to cut speeding on Matterhorn Drive.

The plan includes adding more speed limit signs, stepping up enforcement and painting traffic-control lines. The borough also will alert the North Allegheny School District about relocating a school bus stop away from a curve to protect children from speeding cars.

Chief Don Dorsch will make his presentation at an 8 p.m. council meeting in the borough building on Ingomar Heights Road.

Council members asked Dorsch and Manager Ambrose Rocca to investigate options in response to complaints from a resident about speeding near the intersection of Matterhorn and Interlaken Court. Dorsch outlined their findings at a recent council work session.

The posted speed limit is 25 mph. Borough police timed a total of more than 180 cars over five days, Dorsch said. The fastest car was clocked at 45 mph.

The state Department of Transportation sets strict regulations for installation of stop signs, Dorsch said. Initial research indicates there is not enough traffic or reported accidents at Matterhorn and Interlaken to justify stop signs, he said.

In other business, council has asked the McCandless Township Sewer Authority to decide within 90 days whether to accept the lines and customers in the borough's Bear Run and Lowries Run sewer districts.

Franklin Park has been looking to get out of the sewer business by transferring its remaining lines to the much larger McCandless authority.

The McCandless authority serves 52,000 customers in seven North Hills communities. Franklin Park's customers total about 1,500.

The borough's Fish Run and Pine Creek sanitary districts were turned over to the McCandless authority years ago.

Council also will hold a public hearing tonight on plans to build a church with seating for about 60 people at Nicholson Road and Wharrey Drive.

The land is in an R-1 residential zoning district, and New Heights Church of God must have conditional-use approval from the borough.

Preliminary plans show a 6,000-square- foot building, zoning administrator Tim Phillips said. The church plans to handle sewage on site with a drip-irrigation system.

Council also will vote on a plan to divide a tract facing Pine Creek Road into five home sites. Each lot on the hilly tract facing Barrington Drive will be a minimum of one acre.
