Police Chief Vincent McGinnis also reminded residents with children that there’s a curfew in the borough.
The curfew is 9:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
Street Foreman Todd Kling reported that the Street Department has been very busy lately with grating projects, replacing inlets and painting and patching roads and sprucing up playgrounds.
Kling would like to extend his gratitude and appreciation to borough residents for helping, as well.
Borough Operations Manager Leslie Stott added that the playground slide at the fairgrounds is in need of repair.
She asked Councilman Steve Livergood to assess the state of the slide, so that the borough could possibly move forward with fixing it or even replacing it.
