Resident urges borough to inspect hazardous paper road near Main Avenue
Summary
Joanne Jennings asked who is responsible for maintaining a paper road next to her driveway after tree limbs fell and created a hazard; Mayor Randy George said he would send Superintendent of Public Works Michael Paese to inspect.
During the public-comment period, Joanne Jennings of 16 Main Avenue raised a safety concern about a paper (unimproved) road adjacent to her driveway where fallen tree limbs created a hazard. She asked which party bears responsibility for maintenance. Mayor Randy George said he would direct Superintendent of Public Works Michael Paese to inspect the location.
Why it matters: Paper roads—unimproved rights-of-way—can create maintenance ambiguity between private property owners, utility providers and municipal responsibilities. The resident requested clarification and an on-site inspection.
Next steps: The mayor said he would send the superintendent to review the site; no further action or vote was recorded during the work session.
