Crafton Borough Council approves public transit funding resolution

Crafton Borough Council has taken a significant step towards enhancing public transit services by passing a resolution to support funding initiatives. This decision, which reflects the community's commitment to improving transportation options, was influenced by public feedback and discussions initiated by Council member Miss Kavito. The resolution aims to make local elected officials aware of Crafton’s strong backing for public transit, particularly in light of potential service cuts that could affect key routes, including the heavily utilized 26 line serving the local shopping plaza.

During the meeting, council members expressed concerns about the implications of service reductions, especially for residents relying on public transportation for essential needs. The council emphasized the importance of maintaining connections to major destinations like the airport and downtown, which are vital for local investments and community accessibility.

In addition to the transit resolution, the council discussed upcoming community events, including an Arbor Day celebration and a garden party to mark the tenth anniversary of the community garden. These events are designed to foster community engagement and celebrate local initiatives. The garden party will feature a VIP hour with refreshments and demonstrations, followed by free public activities.

The council also made progress in filling vacancies on the planning commission, appointing three members to serve four-year terms. This move is expected to strengthen the commission's capacity to address community planning needs effectively.

As Crafton Borough continues to prioritize public transit and community involvement, residents can look forward to enhanced services and opportunities for participation in local events. The council's proactive approach reflects a commitment to fostering a vibrant and connected community.
