(New Brighton, Pa) The New Brighton Borough Council met Thursday evening for their first meeting of 2024. The council authorized the placement of a Sons of Italy Lodge Veterans marker in Townsend Park.

Council approved road closures along 3rd Avenue in New Brighton on Friday, June 28th, from 4pm until 10pm. Roads affected by the closure will be 10th street from 3rd Avenue to 4th Avenue, 11th Street from 3rd Avenue to 5th Avenue, and parking spaces along with the access lane between 8th Street and 13th Street. The closures will be for a wine walk.

The Council discussed safety concerns regarding lighting in tunnels leading to Big Rock Park and the fishing park, as not all of the tunnels have lights. The board will look into adding proper lighting, although they believe electricity access may need to be added to do so.

The Council will meet again on Febuary 15th.
