Mifflinburg Borough Traffic Alert Starting May 08, 2023

A contractor working for the Department of Transportation (PennDOT) will be completing a PennDOT road reconstruction project for SR304 in Union County (Mifflinburg Borough) beginning on May 8th, 2023. The work involves new water mains and storm sewer upgrades along with sidewalk and paving upgrades.  SR 304 from SR45 (Chestnut Street) to SR3004 (Red Ridge Road) will be down to one lane of traffic allowing vehicular traffic to only leave Mifflinburg. Any traffic entering into Mifflinburg on SR304 will be detoured onto SR3004 (Red Ridge Road) and over to SR104 to proceed into the Borough. This will begin May 8th and will be in effect until October 1st. There will also be a few days of closure of SR2004 (Furnace Road/Maple St) between SR304 and East Street during the project to do some additional storm sewer work.  Therefore, on street parking in this area will not be permissible during this work.  In addition, there may be some complete closure work at night of SR304 to safely complete utility crossing work during the night.  There will be signs throughout the project area for traffic patterns and detours to direct traffic flow on the side streets that are within this work area. If you have any questions regarding the project, please contact the local PennDOT Office.

Utility Scams

Mifflinburg Borough residents receive their water, sewer and electric services from the Borough. The Borough has recently been made aware that some residents have received emails about their electric. As a general rule, The Borough does not email you about your account., so please be sure to carefully check the email address that is sending you these messages to be sure that the email comes from a trusted source.

Not sure of the source of the email or if it is from a trustworthy source? Then you should definitely not respond and you should definitely NOT SHARE ANY OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION! Contact the Borough Office with any questions at 570-966-1013.

Volunteers Needed

Mifflinburg Borough Council is forming a committee to help determine the future for the Mifflinburg Community Pool.  This facility is in need of a major repair/upgrade project in the near future if operations are to continue.  Does this facility still fill a need in the Mifflinburg or should other alternatives or projects be considered in its’ place?

If you are interested in being a part of this conversation and are willing to attend regular meetings to discuss this, please contact the Borough Manager for more information. An advisory committee is being formed and we need a few good people to help us consider the Borough’s needs and options for this facility.

This group will meet monthly for the next year or so as we work to gather information to help Borough Council determine the fate of the pool.  The first meeting will be February 16, 2022 at 6:00 PM at the Mifflinburg Municipal Building located at 120 N. 3rd Street.

Snow Removal

Snow Removal Reminders

Residents are reminded to remove all vehicles from public streets in instances when snowstorms are imminent. Please avoid parking in dead ends and cul-de-sacs during snow removal efforts.  This will greatly help Borough employees in their plowing efforts.  If you have available space on your property for off-street parking, please use it when it snows.

We are also offering another reminder to mark the edge of your lawns with brightly colored stakes or flags to aid in locating where the edge of the pavement ends during snow plowing. Please remove all ornamental decorations, basketball structures, etc. that may end up in the path of the snow plows.  These simple yet conscientious efforts will greatly assist the Borough crew in clearing the snow and minimizing personal property damage.

Last, but not least in the way of cold weather and snow reminders, please keep your sidewalks clear. The Borough has ordinances which require that property owners clear their sidewalks of snow within 24 hours of a snowfall event.  This ordinance is intended as a Public Safety measure.  Getting the snow or slush off of your sidewalks as quickly as possible helps prevent the buildup of ice and snow from becoming a hazard to pedestrians and a liability to you.

Thank you for your cooperation!
