LAFLIN — Borough council voted Monday night to approve a measure that will extend Saylor Avenue to Main Street.
The county requested the council’s input on the matter that will impact four borough properties. The properties currently on that stretch of Market Street will have a change of address to East Saylor Avenue once the extension takes place.
According to council, the address change will simplify matters for police, fire and other emergency services that need quick address verification.
Council also approved several resolutions and ordinances, including appointing an administrator for the non-uniform pension plan. Council President Thomas L .Parry agreed to take on those duties with the council’s approval.
Council also voted in favor of a motion to advertise an ordinance that will remove a traffic control device from the intersection of Oakwood Drive, Oakhill Drive, and Cedarwood Drive.
If approved, the ordinance will remove stop signs from the intersection to improve traffic flow.
In other business, the council voted to approve a street sweeping vendor. Street sweeping in the borough is tentatively set to begin the first week in May.
