Stanley Sweeping will be street sweeping in the Borough beginning Tuesday, May 18th through Thursday, May 20th from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day. Please refer to the no parking signs posted on your street for the dates the sweeper will be on your street. All residents in the Borough are being asked to remove your car(s) from the streets during this time, and if at all possible please park in your driveway or garage if you have one. The sweepers will make multiple passes on each street, so even if you see them go by please do not parking on the street until the end of the day. As always, if you park where there is a no parking sign, your car may be ticketed. The no parking signs will not be removed until the contractor has finished sweeping those streets.

In an effort to help with the sweeping and keeping the Borough looking nice, please sweep any winter road cinders that accumulated on our sidewalk into the street the day prior to the street sweeper coming through and also pick up any trash or litter. Do not put trash, litter or branches in the gutter for the street sweeper as their machine cannot pickup such items and it will cause delays in the streets being cleaned.

Thank you for your help and cooperation.

Dear Community Members,

As directed by the Governor of Pennsylvania, the State (including Lehigh County and Borough of Macungie) are now in the "Green" phase of reopening, which was shut down due to the recent Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This action was taken to protect the health and safety of our community and all of its citizens. It is extremely important that everyone continues to follow the guidelines outlined by government officials concerning the Coronavirus.

Each one of us can do our part to reduce the spread of COVID-19 by taking proper precautionary measures to keep our community safe by following the rules of social distancing at all times; maintaining six feet distance from others; continuing to wear a mask when in public places, avoiding discretionary travel; not meeting in groups larger than ten people; quarantine yourself at home if you or a family member is ill; practice good hygiene by washing hands frequently and using hand sanitizer; and disinfect frequently used surfaces and items as much as possible.

Please stay informed by listening to daily news updates on television as they arise and visiting Governor Wolf's website at www.governor.pa.gov/ for detailed information.

Please stay healthy and do your part to keep others healthy as well.

Thank you for your assistance and attention with this matter,
Macungie Borough Council
