KEEPING YOUR SIDEWALKS SAFE

It’s the right thing to do and it’s the law.

The Winter snow season is upon us once again! After a snow fall, please be sure to shovel your entire sidewalk and clear any fire hydrants in your area within 12 hours of a snowfall. Keep in mind that wheelchairs and strollers need 36” to pass. The Borough, Police and Fire Departments thank you for keeping your sidewalks safe.

MCLAUGHLIN PARK UPDATE: As mentioned in our last newsletter, we’ve applied for permits from the DEP. Last month, we applied for a grant to help pay for some of the flood mitigation efforts. Hopefully, we will hear a positive reply soon. Renovations will begin soon to upgrade the restrooms to be ADA compliant at McLaughlin Park. The improvements are two-thirds funded through a grant and one-third funded by the Borough.

Leaf Clean up – On-going through first week of December, the Borough will pick up leaves that are swept into a pile and placed at the curb. Remember to be cautious about idling vehicles nearby as this poses a fire hazard.

Brush Grinder – Trimmings and limbs placed at curbs will be picked up during the month of November. All brush material must be no larger than 12 inches in diameter. Due to a safety hazard for our public workmen, all brush material must be free of roots and dirt or they will not be taken. Please visit our website at www.bridgevilleboro.com or call the Borough office for the clean-up schedule.
