The state and the High companies intend to build a $15.3 million road on part of the “goat path” as a quicker, calmer alternative to heavily congested Greenfield Road at Route 30.
The two-lane road will begin where the “goat path” starts — at the eastern end of Walnut Street. A new bridge will take this extension of Walnut Street over Millcross Road.
The Walnut Street extension, a state road, will end at a roundabout. There it will connect to a new township road, Ben Franklin Boulevard, and go to Greenfield Road.

It was January 2015 when developers of the Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square proposed adding a second tower to their 300-room hotel.
Two reports had warned that a shortage of rooms within walking distance was impacting business at the adjacent Lancaster County Convention Center.
Adding capacity, they advised, would allow the complex to attract more large events and retain ones that might otherwise outgrow it.
Now, 4 1/2 years later, the finishing touches are being put on the $39.4 million project.
