Mayor urges study after parked trailers, construction vehicles block sightlines
Summary
Mayor Larry Minnich warned that trailers and construction vehicles parked on Borough streets—notably at Liberty Alley and Cyrus Street—can block drivers' sightlines; council agreed to commission an engineer study to identify limited-visibility streets and consider no-parking markings or ordinances.
Mayor Larry Minnich raised a safety concern about trailers and construction vehicles left on Borough streets, saying the vehicles can "block the line of sight for drivers pulling out on the roadway" and naming the Liberty Alley/Cyrus Street intersection as an example. Council discussed options including an engineer study to identify streets with limited sightlines, painting additional no-parking zones, or creating ordinances restricting on-street parking of trailers and construction vehicles.
Council approved commissioning the Borough engineer to study problem intersections so staff can recommend targeted interventions. No specific ordinance language was proposed at the meeting; council instructed staff to return with study results and possible marking or regulatory changes.
