On October 16, the Borough Council held an open public workshop on POSSIBLE RE-ZONING of two areas of the Borough: 1) on the southern end of town, an area along Goffle and Wagaraw Roads [map]; and on the northern end of town, an area along Goffle Road [map].  The Borough's planner made a presentation of a draft ordinance, after which members of the public asked questions and made suggestions.  The concept is to make the areas more attractive for commercial development. The Council will use the public input to make changes to the draft ordinance, at which time the revisions will be made available for public review before any official action is taken.

Review proposed time limit parking restrictions on Lafayette Avenue, Diamond Bridge Avenue and Warburton Avenue (see Map #1, Map #2, and summary of changes). A public hearing on Ordinance 2099-13 will be held at the 12/18 Borough Council meeting.
