Friendly reminder for Borough residents with dogs:

Georgia Martin, the State Dog Warden for Franklin County, shared that starting the week of March 16th, Dog Wardens may conduct neighborhood canvassing when they are already in the area responding to calls. While handling an issue nearby, they may check surrounding homes to ensure dogs are properly licensed, as required by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture.

Dog licenses are about $10 per year, but fines for an unlicensed dog can reach up to $500 per dog. Keeping licenses current not only avoids potential fines, but also helps lost dogs get home faster.

Please take a moment to make sure your dog’s license is up to date.

North Washington Street will be closed from Baltimore Street to Pine Lane today.

The closure is necessary to allow for work associated with the Borough’s grant-funded Green Light Go intersection improvements project. During this time, through traffic will not be permitted in this area.

Please avoid the area and plan accordingly. Motorists are asked to use alternate routes.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

This week, the Borough will be upgrading the parking meters in Center Square. The new meters will continue to accept coins just like before, but they will also offer an optional QR code for convenient mobile payments.

Residents and visitors can choose whichever payment method works best for them.

Thank you for your patience while we make these improvements!

The Borough is executing a traffic signal improvements project at all three of our signalized intersections:
- E. Baltimore Street & Washington Street
- Rt. 11 & Rt. 16
- Rt. 11 & Walter Avenue

Construction crews will be on site over the next few weeks. This project is funded by a PennDOT Green Light Go grant and is expected to be completed by the end of March.

Please use caution around these intersections and be patient with any delays. Thank you for helping us keep traffic moving safely!
