AMED has the permits it needs to construct an emergency exit driveway at its new headquarters and main station in Lakemont.
“We just got the highway occupancy permit,” Executive Director Gary Watters told the board Monday. “They’re all in place now.”
The ambulance authority “needs to get started” on the project, he said.
AMED previously obtained a stream crossing permit, a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit and PennDOT’s OK on a point-of-access study, which was required because the driveway will connect with Park Avenue, a limited-access roadway.
The driveway project could cost about $300,000, Watters estimated.
