Councilwoman Christine Weaver announced Catasauqua Borough Council will vote on making Front Street two way in November.

According to Weaver, most of the parking details are worked out.

“The plan is to make Front Street two way to Union Street,” she told council members at the Oct. 3 meeting. “When PennDOT makes changes to the intersections on Race Street, Front will be converted to two way to Race Street.”

Mayor Barbara Schlegel indicated PennDOT is talking about making changes to the Race Street intersections at Lehigh, Front and Second streets.

“We probably won’t see the changes made until 2020,” she said.

The original schedule called for changes to be made in 2018. Front Street under the present plans would be converted to a two-way street in April 2017.

Weaver said the traffic study committee will remain in place during the transition.

“We want to have a forum to address problems as they arise,” Weaver said.

Parking is a prime concern in the borough, as converting Front Street from one-way to two-way traffic will eliminate parking spaces.

Councilman Brian McKittrick is looking to designate certain areas of Limestone Street and Pine Street to Walnut Street as no parking.

“On Limestone, we couldn’t get fire equipment down the street if there are cars parked,” he said.
