The 2019 paving project is now scheduled to commence and be completed next week, Monday, September 9th through September 11th. In addition to the Borough issued notifications, the Borough’s paving Contractor, Associated Paving, is required to make direct notification to the residents on the roads to be milled and paved. Associated Paving will be posting no parking signs today, Friday, September 6^th, in the affected areas which will be in effect beginning Monday, September 9^th. While it is always the intent of the Borough to complete the paving project prior to the start of the school year, this year there were external factors outside of the Borough’s control. Due to school being open and the presence of children before and after school, extra safety precautions have been taken including adjusting the working hours of the Contractor, notification of the School District and advance planning with the Police Department including additional Police presence for safety during the arrival and dismissal process.

The 2019 paving project includes the milling and paving of  Walnut Street between Greenwood & West Avenues, Highland Avenue between West & Hillside Avenues, as well as Cedar Street between Willow Street & Summit Avenue. Avoidance of the project area is recommended while work is being performed for the safety of the General Public and Contractors performing the work, as well as to avoid possible delays.

Washington Lane, between Walnut Street and Township Line Road, will have intermittent lane closures from 9:00 AM until 3:00 PM, tomorrow, September 4th. These lane closures will take place to allow for Public Works Department to repair pot holes along Washington Lane.

Due to the milling and paving operations, one lane of traffic will have intermittent closures. Residents in the area will have access to their driveways during the milling operation, however there may be temporary delays in driveway access during the paving operation. The Borough anticipates this project being completed by 3PM on Wednesday.

Please make plans to take an alternate route to avoid further disruption of your travels. Thank you for your patience and understanding while these necessary improvements are made. Should you have any questions, please contact Borough Hall at (215) 885-0700. Thank you
