Borough Council Discusses Parking
At its July 10th meeting, Collegeville Borough Council discussed parking on Main Street. Earlier in the week the Borough Manager and Chief of Police conducted a walking tour of the street reviewing where parking is currently allowed and existing signage. Parking lanes, as well as individual spaces, are marked in the 300 block. Parking is allowed in the 400 and 500 blocks but spaces are not marked because there are currently no businesses there that require on-street parking.

Council asked the Borough Engineer David Leh to ballpark how much parking space striping would cost. Based on the Main Street striping work his firm, Gilmore & Associates, recently did for Schwenksville Borough, he suggested 10 to 20 thousand dollars, but their Main Street is much longer. Council questioned whether it would be better to wait until businesses open and there is a need versus creating parking first. And they asked the Borough Manager when PennDot will repave the street.
