BOROUGH OFFICE​

BOROUGH UPDATES


The Borough received several grants and we are currently working on the following projects: 

*Handicap Parking/Walkway to playground (Greenways Grant)

*New Borough sign (GEDTF)

*Sr. Center updates and repairs (ARPA)

*Storm sewers repairs (ARPA)


We have accepted a bid for the storm sewer repairs and waiting for a start date by the contractor. We are awaiting bids from various contractors for the other projects and hope to have all three completed by the end of summer 2025. 

The Borough has received monies for the paving project of Newton Street. They are anticipating this road to be paved by the end of summer 2025. We have submitted grants for the paving of Park Avenue and still in the application process for CDBG funding. They are looking into additional grants for additional paving projects for later this year or early next year to include Ardmore Manor Drive and 4th Street.​

​There was another meeting with Swissvale regarding the police regionalization. The managers and chiefs will continue to work on some budget items and the solicitors will work on finalizing the Intergovernmental Agreement. Until these items are addressed, the regionalization has been delayed a few months. 


Speed bumps have been installed on Circle Drive and Garfield Avenue to alleviate speeding on these streets. The police have decided that these roads will be first to try to calm traffic. They are portable, so they may be temporary and moved if deemed necessary on other streets in the Borough. Benches will be installed at the Walking Track/Playground area by early summer. ​​

Borough office hours are:

Monday thru Friday          9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.

Closed Saturday & Sunday

Tiny Terrors, Big Threats: Allegheny County Bites Back Against Ticks and Mosquitoes

PITTSBURGH – As warmer weather returns and outdoor adventures begin, the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) is urging residents to “Fight the Bite” with the official launch of the 2025 Tick and Mosquito Surveillance Season. In partnership with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PA DEP), ACHD is ramping up efforts to protect the public from the health threats posed by ticks and mosquitoes. 

Every week this season, field staff will be actively monitoring tick and mosquito populations across Allegheny County. Residents may notice the health department dragging white cloths through local parks or setting mosquito traps — these important actions help track the risks from disease-carrying ticks and mosquitoes.  

From May thru July, blacklegged ticks are responsible for the majority of Lyme disease and Anaplasmosis cases in Pennsylvania. Mosquitoes can spread West Nile virus and other illnesses, especially during peak biting times at dawn and dusk. 

 “We’re not asking people to stay indoors — we’re encouraging residents to be smart and safe while enjoying the outdoors,” said Nick Bladauf, ACHD Vector Control Specialist. “Simple steps can make a big difference in preventing bites and the illnesses they can cause.” 

Know the Signs. Take the Steps. Stay Safe. 
ACHD and the CDC recommend the following proven prevention strategies: 


  • Use EPA-registered insect repellents with DEET, picaridin, or lemon eucalyptus oil. 
  • Treat clothing and shoes with permethrin-based products. 
  • Wear long sleeves and pants, especially in grassy or wooded areas. 
  • Check your body for ticks after being outdoors or even in your own yard. Check under arms, behind knees, around the waist, and in hair. 
  • Avoid standing water—even small amounts—in flower pots, toys, or birdbaths, where mosquitoes breed. 
  • Create a tick-safe yard by clearing brush, removing leaf litter, and placing mulch between lawns and wooded areas. 
  • Fix holes in window and door screens to keep bugs outside. 


Your Neighborhood, Your Role 
Thanks to funding from the PA DEP, data collected in Allegheny County contributes to state-wide risk assessments and seasonal alerts. But prevention starts at home. 

Residents who spot potential mosquito breeding grounds — such as standing water — are encouraged to report them to the Housing and Community Environment Program at 412-350-4046 or visiting alleghenycounty.us/housing.  

Let’s Make Summer Safer, Together 
“Ticks and mosquitoes are a part of nature, but the diseases they carry don’t have to be a part of your summer,” said Tim Murphy, Program Manager for ACHD’s Housing and Community Environment Program. “By taking preventive measures and working together, we can keep our communities safe, healthy, and bite-free.” 

The Allegheny County Health Department's mission is to protect, promote, and preserve the health and well-being of the more than 1.2 million people who call Allegheny County home.
