Hawley stop signs and classic cars

Posted

HAWLEY, PA — After a summer full of activity, the Hawley Borough was able to settle down to general business and housekeeping, with stop signs being one topic at the August 18 meeting. Stop-sign replacements have been designated within the township in multiple areas. The repainting of all the crosswalks has been completed. Discussion on meter usage was debated as well, with some individuals questioning the free parking after 5 p.m. that is the current standard. No final decision has been made as yet as to whether this will change, but the financial impact of such a change was discussed.

Another issue was the annual classic car show, which will be held in October. While the cars are typically permitted to line the streets during this event, this involves having the street cleared. One store owner has refused to allow the classic cars to be parked in front of his store, preferring to have the space available for customers. This one holdout will have no impact on the event.

The playground upgrade, which has been ongoing for some time now, will continue after Labor Day.

Last month, the township agreed that the zoning office would now be responsible for handing in monthly reports to the board as the other departments have been doing for years. This apparently did not occur this past month and the matter was discussed. It was said that confusion is often the result of one department not being aware of what the other may be doing. Further, zoning applications in the past have been approved when the board would have preferred to have the approval put off until the matter could have been discussed. The board will address the issue again next month.
