The deadline is looming for Tremont residents to install curbing and sidewalks in front of their properties on Crescent Street. Borough Council voted last Tuesday evening to give residents until August 21 to begin curbing. If residents do not begin work by the deadline, the borough will install the curbing and bill the homeowner. The new sidewalks and curbing should be installed no deeper than 20 inches.
Deeper curbs risk damaging the waterline.
Tremont Council is also seeking funding to clean the creek south of the Vine and Laurel Street bridge. The creek is currently blocked by vegetation. Councilman John Mease is contacting several agencies to inspect the creek and inform Council whether money is available for such a project. It is required that the money be placed in an insured account at the highest possible interest rate. Work is continuing on the building.
