  1. A.Raven's Roost Trail Signage and Crosswalk

    Chief Kerr was contacted by a local citizen requesting a crosswalk and signage to slow down the traffic on the road at the base of Raven's Roost Trail.  The parking area is on the opposite side of the road from the trail head, vehicles are often driving fast off of Cabin Creek Road and the visibility isn't the best for pedestrians coming off the trail.  Chief Kerr seeks support from the Board to request Public Works install a CAUTION or SLOW sign on both sides of the road and a crosswalk from the base of the trail to the other side of the street.

  2. B.Handicap Access Parking on Dolphin Street

    Chief Kerr received a request for the installation of handicap access parking on Dolphin Street on the north side of the St. Catherine of Siena Roman Catholic Church.  Chief Kerr recommends fulfilling this request  and seeks Board support for the project.  The School District requests the handicap parking be designated for weekends only.  See Chief Kerr's report and Stedman Elementary School Principal Conn's email, attached.

  3. C.Parabolic Mirror Installation at Haugen Drive &Second Street

    Member Tuccillo requests consideration of installing a parabolic mirror at the south corner of Haugen Drive and Second Street. For drivers on North Second Street either turning onto or crossing Haugen Drive it is very difficult to see oncoming traffic traveling down Haugen.

    Haugen Drive is a State owned and maintained street.  Chief Kerr spoke with ADOT regarding the mirror and based upon his findings does not recommend the Borough move forward with installation.    Please see Chief Kerr's report, attached.

  4. D.Appointment of a PSAB liaison to the Local Emergency Planning Committee

    Member Tuccillo requests the Board appoint one member to be a liaison to the LEPC.
