Residents,

I wanted to update all of you on the progress of our traffic signal reprogramming.  The work has been completed at the following intersections:

1. Columbia Turnpike and Park Street
2. Columbia Turnpike and James Street
3. Columbia Turnpike and Ridgedale Avenue
4. Columbia Turnpike and Hanover Road
5. Columbia Turnpike and Crescent Road
6. Ridgedale Avenue and James Street
7. Ridgedale Avenue and Brooklake Road/Park Street
8. Ridgedale Avenue and Briarwood Road/Borough Drive

In order for the Pedestrian Only cycle to activate, you must press the crosswalk button on the traffic signal post.  Engaging the crosswalk button with stop traffic in all directions for 30 seconds to allow for the free flow of pedestrian and cyclists to cross through these intersections.  Please educate your children and ensure they are utilizing the crosswalk buttons to activate this crucial safety measure.

Lastly, I have engaged the members of the Borough Council to create and enact an Ordinance that severely restricts the utilization of E-Bikes within the Borough.  Future correspondence will be broadcast to advise residents when the Ordinance will be introduced at a Council meeting and all interested parties are encouraged to attend.

Stay Safe and Happy 4^th of July!!
