Council adopts Local Road Safety Plan and approves MOU for school safety lights; Rabbit Transit booth location finalized
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 2026-6, the Red Lion Borough Local Road Safety Plan, authorized drafting an MOU allowing district school staff to operate certain safety lights while the borough retains maintenance responsibility, and approved the final location for a Rabbit Transit ticket booth.
Council moved to adopt Resolution 2026‑6, the Red Lion Borough Local Road Safety Plan. "Mr. Heister made a motion to adopt resolution 2026-6 Red Lion Borough Local Road Safety Plan. Ms. Phillips seconded the motion. All in favor, motion carried," the minutes record. Council discussed readiness to follow the plan, stakeholder participation and the plan's utility for securing shovel‑ready grant funding.
Separately, council authorized Solicitor Samantha Craley-Byerts to prepare a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to permit school‑district staff to turn safety lights on and off while leaving maintenance responsibility with the borough. Mark Holloway moved for the MOU authorization and Evan Heister seconded; council approved the measure.
Council also approved the final location for the Rabbit Transit ticket booth as presented and discussed curb repairs, painting quotes for a municipal building and lot lighting near Laucks & Laucks, tabling a lighting decision pending a site visit.
Why it matters: Adoption of a local road‑safety plan positions the borough to pursue grant funding; the MOU clarifies operational duties and preserves borough maintenance obligations; approving transit infrastructure supports local mobility.
