Glassport council approves street closure for Community Day; Fire Department fair and senior-center updates announced
Summary
Council approved closing the 400 block of Monongahela Avenue for Community Day on Aug. 24, heard that the Fire Department fair is July 19–20, and learned the Senior Center passed an inspection with two recommended fixes; the Giant Eagle Mobile Market was praised.
Glassport Borough Council approved a street closure for an August community event and received updates on several community services and events at its July 16 meeting.
Councilwoman Amy Nabors moved and the council approved closing the 400 block of Monongahela Avenue on Saturday, Aug. 24 for Community Day; the motion passed 6-0. Councilman Paul Trunzo said the Fire Department will hold its annual fair July 19–20.
Council President Anthony Colecchi praised the Giant Eagle Mobile Market, calling it "literally a supermarket on wheels," and offered $5-of-$20 coupons to interested residents. The borough reported 2,284 website views in June and 22,640 year to date, indicating ongoing community engagement.
The Allegheny County Health Department inspected the Senior Center; borough officials said everything was in order but recommended addressing two items—the kitchen ceiling tile and the absence of self-closing restroom doors—which the borough is reviewing. Nick Pisciottano will host an ice cream social at the Senior Center on July 25.
Mayor Keith DiMarco reported the June fishing contest had to be postponed because erosion has affected the riverbank and "we will not be able to hold a fishing contest," unless conditions change. Council took no immediate policy action on the contest; it remains contingent on river conditions.
Residents can expect road-closure notices and event details to be posted as plans are finalized.
