(Ambridge, Pa.) Mario Leone of Hopewell Township was hired recently as Ambridge’s new borough manager. Leone was introduced to resident’s at Tuesday night’s council meeting. Leone told those present, “I’m excited to be working here, “I’m looking forward to it.” He spent 13 years in Monaca and said he thinks Monaca is in a better place than it was when he started there. Ambridge has a lot of potential, I hope I can be successful in obtaining grants here, like I did in Monaca.”
Borough engineer Chris Suehr reported that there are defects in some areas of the streetscape between 4th and 8th Streets. He said Hancock Architecture has been contacted and will get in touch with the borough in 2 weeks.
Mayor Dave Drewnowski said the police were busy issuing several traffic and non traffic citations while on patrol last month. One of the issues, he said motorists aren’t stopping at stop signs. He said, “It’s hard to catch them all, there so many intersections in the borough”.
