Another tractor-trailer has struck the Harmony welcome sign

Tractor trailers driving in Harmony continue to cause damage to brick flower beds and signs when using a road that is marked "no trucks allowed." The borough hadn't been able to fix the damages from a Dec. 14 incident before more damages were reported Friday.

HARMONY — Less than a month after a similar incident, a tractor trailer struck the borough's welcome sign, leading borough officials to speak out on truck traffic in the area.

The incident occurred at about 9 a.m. Friday, with the truck striking the raised flower bed and sign on Harmony's Main Street.

Borough Councilwoman Cathy Rape, who has been trying to solve the issue of trucks driving on Main Street despite signs directing them to use alternative routes, said it's sickening to see the damages continue to pile up on Main Street.

The borough has not yet had the opportunity to clean up damages from the last truck that backed into a Main Street sign on Dec. 14.

“I don't want people to feel sorry for us,” Rape said. “I just want some common sense.”
