Line Painting

During the warmer months, the Public Works Department performs line painting throughout the borough. This work includes crosswalks, parking stalls, pavement markings, and accessible spaces on both borough and state roadways, as well as in municipal parking areas. High-use pedestrian crossings are refreshed more frequently to maintain visibility and safety.

Sign Program

The Public Works Department is responsible for the installation, maintenance, and replacement of traffic and informational signage throughout the borough. This includes regulatory, warning, and informational signs located on both borough-owned roads and state highways. Periodic sign replacement programs are undertaken as needed to improve visibility, consistency, and overall system condition.

Snow Removal

The Public Works Department is responsible for snow and ice control on all borough-maintained streets, as well as designated municipal facilities, parking areas, and select sidewalks. Snow response is based on weather conditions and accumulation, with salting and plowing deployed as appropriate. A priority system is used to address main routes before secondary streets. During off-hours, conditions are monitored and crews are called in when necessary. Follow-up work, such as widening and intersection cleanup, occurs after streets are passable.

Street Sweeping

Street sweeping is conducted seasonally through contracted services to remove debris, improve appearance, and help protect the stormwater system. Additional details are available on the borough’s Street Sweeping page under Services.

Traffic Signals

The Public Works Department maintains traffic and pedestrian signal equipment throughout the borough in coordination with PennDOT permitting requirements. Routine maintenance includes replacement of signal components, upkeep of detection systems, and monitoring of signal operations to ensure safe and reliable function.
