Pannoni Engineering told council on Sept. 11 that the borough’s road program is scheduled for mid‑October and will include Yaden Avenue from McDade to Allen and Parkview Boulevard from South Longacre to Angora. “Once we have an exact date for that, we'll make sure that the borough is notified so any resident or notices can go out and that the contractor is notifying the affected residents as well along those roads,” the engineer said.

The engineer also said the team completed and submitted the first application for intersection improvements at Church and Bailey to PennDOT and received comments from the agency; the borough will address those comments and resubmit “so we can proceed and hopefully get a permit soon.” The engineer estimated permitting will take a few months. The borough engineer reminded council that the borough’s MS4 annual report is due Sept. 30 and that staff will prepare and file the report by the deadline.

Why this matters: Road resurfacing and intersection permits affect traffic flow, resident access and project timelines. The MS4 (municipal separate storm sewer system) annual report is a regulatory filing related to stormwater management; meeting that deadline maintains compliance.

Details and next steps: The engineer said stop‑sign warrant studies were completed and a memo was sent last week. The engineer said cost estimates for building upgrades at public works, borough hall and the library are ongoing and that the Church and Bailey permit comments from PennDOT will be addressed in the next submission. The engineer also provided a status update on a demolition at a separate address and said the contractor for that demolition has been difficult to schedule because of prioritization of emergency demolitions elsewhere; a preconstruction meeting is being pushed to schedule the work.

Limitations: The engineer did not give exact paving dates, contractor names or cost figures at the Sept. 11 caucus. Council members and residents will be notified when exact dates and schedules are set.
