Picture Rocks council rejects contractor fix for Water Street curb; orders replacement
Summary
On April 6, 2026 Picture Rocks Borough Council rejected a contractor proposal to clean and reseal spalled sidewalk and curb at Water Street and Route 220 and voted to have the curb removed and replaced instead.
The Picture Rocks Borough Council voted April 6 to reject a contractor's offer to clean and reseal spalled sidewalk and curb at the intersection of Water Street and Route 220 and instead requested that the curbing be removed and replaced.
The email from PennDOT about the spalling was read to council by Secretary Linda K. Sosniak. On a motion by Councilor Matt Charles, seconded by Councilor Frank Shetler, the council "to not accept this proposal and requesting that the curbing be removed and replaced." The motion carried; no roll-call tally was recorded in the minutes.
Council members said the visible scaling on the new surface prompted the request for full replacement rather than a surface reseal. The action directs the borough to notify the contractor and PennDOT of the council's position and seek removal and replacement under the project's warranty or contract terms.
The council's decision is recorded in the April 6 minutes; the matter may require follow-up with PennDOT and the contractor to resolve responsibility for replacement.
