The McCandless Police Department is aware of an issue with the traffic light facing Perrymont Rd @ McKnight Rd. Intermittently this light will not give the green light for multiple cycles before then turning green.

We have reached out to our Road Department, and parts are ordered for repair. While those repairs are pending, we would suggest drivers use an alternate route to access McKnight Rd should they not wish to experience any delays.

Update:  Both dogs have been taken to the Humane Animal Rescue North.Two dogs found on West Ingomar at Route 19.
