Red Lion says snow removal went well; council to add borough streets to snow‑emergency plan
Summary
Public Works reported post‑storm clearing worked well but crews encountered residents shoveling snow back into streets. Council scheduled LTAP follow‑up on March 11, 2026, and staff proposed adding borough streets to the snow‑emergency plan to preserve local access during state road emergencies.
Public Works lead Brett Patterson reported that snow removal operations following the recent storm “went well,” and that he and Mayor Aleksa Keithan conducted a borough walk to explain why a snow emergency was not declared. Borough Manager Michelle Poole said staff kept residents updated via Facebook and Savvy Citizen during the event.
Council members raised enforcement and operational concerns after crews returned to find residents clearing snow into the road. The borough noted an LTAP meeting had taken staff concerns and will return on March 11, 2026, with recommendations. Poole and Patterson proposed adding borough‑maintained streets to the town’s snow emergency plan so local outlets remain open if state roads become impassable; Patterson requested full committee involvement in the next meeting.
