La Verne family shocked when mountain lion wanders through front door of their home
A La Verne family had quite the surprise on Saturday when a mountain lion sauntered through their front door. The Tenney family says that it happened some time in the early afternoon, when their door was open because their family dog, Bandit was out front. They said it immediately became spooked upon entering the home, bolted out the backdoor and into the pool before it ran away. "As soon as I got to the front door, I heard a crash out the back, splash in the pool," said Jeff Tenney. "Cat was in the pool, jumped over the fence and was gone." Tenney said that no one in the home ever felt threatened by the big cat, and that Bandit slept through the entire incident. He did say that one pool toy was damaged as the cat rushed to flee from their yard.

New AI traffic light technology will soon be utilized on Peach Street to improve traffic flow
Traffic along Peach Street is set to improve with the installation of new AI traffic light technology, part of the nearly $1 million 'Green Light Go' project funded by PennDOT as well as Millcreek and Summit Townships. The Townships have collaborated to implement this advanced system, aiming to alleviate congestion known locally as 'The Peach Jam.' The project has been underway since 2022 and is expected to take full effect soon. The new AI traffic light technology adjusts signals based on real-time traffic conditions, ensuring optimal flow along Peach Street. 'You can set timers for time of day in anticipation of what traffic flow may be like, but this is real time and it knows exactly what's happening,' explained Dan Ouellet, Supervisor of Millcreek Township. The system utilizes bell-shaped cameras at each intersection from West Gore to Robinson Road to monitor traffic volumes and calculate optimal traffic flow plans. Crews replacing century-old water mains along State Street Poles equipped with communication radio systems signal when to change the lights, ensuring smooth traffic movement. Jeff Tenney, Traffic Bureau Chief of Millcreek Township, described how the system detects vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians, adjusting signals accordingly. 'It's a data right now so they can see the cars coming in,' he said. 'As the cars are going southbound on Peach Street you'll see the detection zones.' The technology aims to reduce pedestrian and bicycle accidents, a significant concern in Erie County. 'Erie County has a high rate of pedestrian and bicycle accidents and that is one of the major reasons that we were able to acquire this grant,' noted Dan Ouellet. Erie DMV hosting REAL ID event with deadline now passed Jade Leah Burns demonstrated the system's effectiveness at the busy intersection of Peach and Interchange, highlighting its role in ensuring pedestrian safety. Both supervisors, Jack Lee and Dan Ouellet, emphasized the importance of their partnership in improving the traffic corridor, with Lee noting, 'Many areas you got six lanes and people are always in a hurry driving.' With the implementation of AI traffic light technology, Peach Street is expected to see significant improvements in traffic flow and safety, benefiting both drivers and pedestrians alike.
