- A trail? An avenue? A path? A place to park? A launch area for trail vehicles? A butcher shop parking lot? Exactly what is the definition of that narrow strip of turf that runs from South Second Street and Bank Avenue? According to this borough map, it’s not marked as anything. It doesn’t show as a street, an alley or an avenue (J avenue extended?) on most commercial maps. Various searches at the Borough’s “ordinances“ website produced nothing. If it’s a street or an avenue, do the snow removal ordinances apply. How about parking and blocking traffic lanes? Is is a one way avenue or throughfare or two-ways?
- Fire department consolidation is tough in another town too: one company withdraws from talks. Reasons: financial and management structure. – Reading Eagle
- Legal Notice – the borough wants to buy road-building materials: Superpave Asphalt. Maybe the borough’s going to name and pave that strip of turf?
- Ominous and scathing comment – but accurate: “Well let me say, how does the CEDC market Hotel Locust and the Columbia Hotel when THEIR own president of the CEDC is moving his business OUT of town. In case you don’t know this either, he is building his mansion behind the high school, again OUT of Columbia school district. His KOZ benefits have expired so his way of saying thanks is with his middle finger up!!!” – Cole Umber’s news site
- Know any state workers? Want to see that person’s salary?
