Hufnagle Park Public Restrooms to close temporarily

Lewisburg Borough Public Notice —

Lewisburg Borough anticipates that the public restrooms in Hufnagle Park will be closed from Monday, August 21, 2023 – Sunday, August 27, 2023.  The closure is necessitated by electrical work associated with the Hufnagle Park Event Venue Project construction activities.  Lewisburg Borough intends to place a temporary restroom (i.e. a port-o-potty) along St. Louis Street at the park for this week.

Closure of Borough Parking Lot and Driveway -UPDATE

Closure of Borough Parking Lot and Driveway

The Lewisburg Borough Office Parking Lot and Driveway will be closed from late Friday afternoon on August 18, 2023 through late morning on Monday, August 21, 2023 for seal coating and line painting.  Any vehicles parked in this lot during this timeframe will be ticketed and towed.  We expect the Borough Office Parking Lot and Driveway will reopen by noon on Monday.  If you need to drop a refuse payment or parking ticket payment off at the Borough Office during this period, access to the silver drop box on the South Fifth Street side of the building can be gained from the sidewalk along St. Louis Street.

West Nile Virus in Lewisburg – Information

What’s the Buzz Newsletter –

Lewisburg Borough has been notified by the Mosquito Borne Disease Control Coordinator at the Northumberland County Conservation District that they have detected West Nile Virus in the Lewisburg Borough.

The Mosquito Borne Disease Control team at the district is keeping a very close eye on the area and they have been treating mosquito breeding areas with larvae present.  They have since set multiple adult mosquito traps to get a better idea of virus activity in the area, as well as adult mosquito populations.  Residents may find doorhangers on their doors that outline ways that they can reduce breeding habitat in their own yards as well as other ways to protect themselves.

Even though there is a low risk of disease transmission, we are still encouraging residents to:

  • Avoid peak mosquito hours by staying indoors dusk to dawn
  • Wear long sleeves, long pants, and avoid open-toed shoes if possible. A mosquito will bite any exposed skin.
  • Apply bug spray with at least 30% DEET.
  • Remove any standing water from your property. Any water standing for more than 4 days can breed mosquitoes that can carry WNV.

If any residents have questions or concerns regarding mosquitoes or this recent positive, they should contact:

Hufnagle Park Event Venue Project Market Street Construction Activities to Begin

Lewisburg Borough Hufnagle Park Event Venue Project Market Street Construction Activities to Begin

Activities associated with the Market Street Loading/Unloading Area for the Hufnagle Park Event Venue Project are beginning.

Today (Wednesday, July 12, 2023) Lewisburg Borough will place “No Parking” bags on the parking meters on both the north and south sides of Market Street between Fifth Street and Sixth Street.  Any vehicles parked in these spaces as of 6:00 am on Thursday morning will ticketed and towed by the Buffalo Valley Regional Police Department.

On Thursday, July 13, 2023, the contractor will place “Road Work Ahead” signs on Market Street at various locations.  The contractor will reline Market Street between Fifth Street and Sixth Street to reroute west bound traffic into the former parking lane on the north side of the street and reroute east bound traffic into the former west bound lane.  The shifting of traffic to the north will create a safer construction area for the workers, but it will (at least temporarily) eliminate all parking on Market Street between Fifth Street and Sixth Street.  After the construction is complete, parking spaces will be reestablished on the north side of Market Street.  The former parking spaces on the south side of Market Street will be the new Loading/Unloading Zone.

On Monday, July 17, 2023, construction activities associated with the new Loading/Unloading Zone will begin.  The contractor will close the sidewalks on the south side of Market Street between Sixth Street and the entrance to the municipal parking lot.  Signage will be placed to direct pedestrians to alternate routes to avoid the construction area.  Construction is expected to last at least five (5) weeks.  We ask for everyone’s patience as this phase of the construction project progresses.  This phase of work is likely the most disruptive to businesses, residents, pedestrians, and drivers.
