Trashy Intermodal Elevator catches FIRE?

If you’ve ever visited the Wilkes Barre Intermodal, you’re likely not surprised by the amount of trash lingering around the garage, but it may come as a surprise that there was apparently so much trash stuffed in the elevator shaft that it erupted into flames.

Who is responsible for this mess?

• Don’t even think about blaming our City DPW Employees…

This dump falls directly under the control of the Intermodal Management Company, DBA (doing business as) Martz Trailways.

According to a Times Leader news article from 2010 “The city entered into an agreement with Martz Trailways to be the management company for the Intermodal. In lieu of rent, Martz takes on the responsibility of running the terminal and keeping it clean.”

AND of course at the time “Leighton praised Marie McCormick, city administrator, and Butch Frati, director of operations, for seeing the project through to completion.”

• You could almost hear the King: “Bribes from Martz, and we (the city) will clean up the mess… The Sheeple will never be the wiser, GREAT JOB Marie and Butchy, GREAT JOB…”
