Some reminders from the borough

• Overnight parking is permitted on adjacent side street during construction.
• When the contractor puts up "No Parking" signs, this will indicate work is about to start (weather permitting).
• After the street is milled and immediately prior to actual paving, the street will be coated with a liquid tacky asphalt material. The street will be barricaded closed. Please obey the barricades and do not drive or walk on this material.
• Once the new asphalt surface cools and the barricades removed, you may drive slowly on the roadway.
• During the actual milling and paving operations, travel in the street is not permitted while equipment is operating. For the safety of children and pets, please keep them a safe distance from construction equipment at all times.
• Should the street remain incomplete overnight, please do not allow pets, children, or bicycles to cross the new or incomplete portions of the street. They may be coated with the liquid asphalt tack material that can be tracked onto driveways, shoes, tires, or paws.
• Once the new asphalt surface cools, and the barricades removed, you may drive slowly on the roadway.
