Yeadon council approves McDade traffic and parking ordinances, commercial-inspection rule and routine minutes and finance items

The Borough of Yeadon Council adopted a set of ordinances and approved routine municipal business during the meeting. Major votes included establishment of a one-way segment and a weekday parking prohibition on McDade Boulevard, adoption of an ordinance requiring annual commercial use-and-occupancy inspections, acceptance of an employee resignation, and approval of minutes and financial reports.

The council formally adopted ordinance number 2025-012 to add a one-way designation for McDade Boulevard between Church Lane and West Cobbs Creek Parkway. Council also adopted ordinance number 2025-013 amending parking prohibitions to add a south-side restriction on McDade Boulevard between Church Lane and West Cobbs Creek Parkway: no parking between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. on Thursdays (the transcript indicates the prohibition is for street cleaning). Council members said the north side already has signs; staff reported additional "wrong way" and do-not-enter signage has been reinstalled and a temporary digital sign from the county is in place. Officials said permanent wrong-way signage will be ordered and outreach (social media, website and door notices) will be used to notify residents.

Council also approved the adoption of an ordinance described in the transcript as "ordinance number 2025-104/014" requiring annual commercial use-and-occupancy inspections in the borough. The transcript records that council adopted the ordinance by roll-call vote; the motion carried as recorded.

Routine business approved by unanimous roll-call votes included approval of caucus and legislative meeting minutes, acceptance of the resignation of employee number 01084, approval of the accounts payable list for October, and approval of the September cash-balance report. Council voted to table two items (action items c and d under the management report) to a future meeting.

Votes recorded by roll call for the major items were unanimous (President Truhart: yes; Vice President Roald Cloud: yes; Councilor Beatty: yes; Councilor Trent: yes; Councilor Peetz: yes). The meeting transcript did not record dollar amounts related to the employee resignation or costs for signage and enforcement.

Staff and councilors emphasized implementation steps: public works will install permanent signage and post notices; the engineer/code staff will manage signage placement and parking enforcement; and councilors suggested door-to-door flyers for residents who do not use the web. No appeals or enforcement dates were specified in the transcript.
