The council also awarded the 2026 curb and ADA pedestrian ramp rehabilitation project to Porter Construction LLC for $144,339.50.
Councilors adopted resolutions authorizing the mayor to sign landscaping and stormwater maintenance agreements with PennDOT required by the Carlisle Urban Redevelopment Plan, and they approved utility reimbursement and cost‑sharing agreements with PennDOT for manhole elevation adjustments and water‑main replacement design, construction and inspection related to scheduled resurfacing on East High Street (State Route 74) and York Road (State Route 641).
