Council discusses vehicle access and public-safety fixes after Grove incident at holiday event
Summary
Administrator McCafferty reported that a vehicle drove on Grove sidewalks to park near the Grove Auditorium during the Dec. 7 Holiday Sing-a-Long; council discussed signage, bollards or a historic fence, and Councilperson James recommended starting with signs.
Administrator McCafferty told council about an incident during the Dec. 7 Holiday Sing-a-Long in which "a vehicle entered the Grove area, driving down sidewalks, in order to park near the Grove Auditorium for the event." The borough discussed possible safety measures to prevent future vehicle access while maintaining emergency and maintenance access.
Suggested responses included signage to mark authorized access only, installing yellow bollards to stop vehicle entrance, or building a historic-style fence with gated access; Councilperson Vanessa James, a Grove resident, said she favored starting with signs for aesthetic reasons before moving to more visible barriers.
