    "Traffic is okay except in the early morning and late afternoon rush hour times around the Wal-Mart/Ephrata Crossings area where there is still construction and road work, also the bottleneck to one lane has caused problems for years! It doesn’t seem like the township will ever do anything about it and it will get worse when the stores and hotel open!"
