6. Public Comment
a. Lynwood Leeman 334 Fourth St. – Mr.
Leeman expressed concern that the Fairmont playground sidewalk was not shoveled
during the recent snowstorms. The Edgewood park sidewalk was shoveled, but the
steps were not cleaned so no one can get down them, due to deep snow. The Bandy
building has had a dumpster sitting out for a long length of period. Mr. Leeman
does note that other than the few things mentioned above public works did do an
excellent job at maintaining the streets during inclement weather.
b. Borough Response- Borough manager,
Ashley Stack responds that public works was down to two full time staff and one
part time staff working around the clock due to other staff sick with covid-19. The sidewalks were last on the priority list, as
they were working hard to maintain roads with minimal trucks running. Manager
has not received other complaints about the above issues but does ask that if residents
have a concern to call the borough office so issues can be addressed at that
time. The dumpster is on private property, so the borough cannot do anything since
it is not on the roadway requiring a permit.
