Dry Run

Less water will puddle on the Panhandle Trail thanks to a project by South Fayette Township Public Works.

Work pauses to allow cyclists to pass.

The department has been using a Gradall wheeled excavator to create slopes and dig drainage ditches along the South Fayette portion of the trail, from the Sturgeon station to the Mill Street crossing.

Lou Quattro operates the machinery.

The work will help divert water off the gravel trail and into stormwater drains.

Lou Quattro operates the excavator in Sturgeon in May as Warren Dalla Piazza prepares to let cyclists safely pass.
