Alburtis Borough Council decided at themeeting May 25 painting lines on Ridgeview Drive will solve the parking and mail delivery situation.

Treasurer Tracy Malinowski reported a letter had been sent to residents and no calls were received at borough hall. A motion was passed unanimously to paint 22-foot lines in the Ridgeview Drive parking areas.

Councilperson Steve Hill brought up the mailbox container issue on Main and Second streets. Over the winter, the containers have become dilapidated and unsightly. The containers haven’t been replaced, yet they still receive mail.

“If the way the mailboxes look does not change, I will persuade council to take action.” Hill said.

Council agreed containers should be replaced and if the residents do not comply, council will take action.

“I would like the borough to look nice when people come into town,” President Ron DeIaco said.

A letter was received from Chris Boehm, Macungie borough manager, requesting assistance from the Alburtis Fire Department and special fire police for traffic control during the antique truck show June 17 and 18, Das Awkscht Fescht Car Show, Aug. 26 to 28 and Wheels of Time Car Show, Aug. 26 to 28. Council approved therequest unanimously.

There will be meetings to discuss the South West Comprehensive Plan 4 to 6 p.m. June 21 and 28. Council members have been asked to attend. Eight themes regarding historical preservation will be discussed. Four themes will be covered at each meeting.
