Bellevue Borough will install new guiderails in a turn-around area on East Roseridge Avenue while officials try to figure out what it will take to maintain the property legally.
Solicitor Tom McDermott told council members at their meeting on Tuesday that although the borough reportedly has maintained the property in the past, it is not clear that the area actually belongs to the borough or falls within the borough’s right of way. There also is the issue of decades worth of accumulated fill dumped in the area in a “non-engineered way,” McDermott said, that could create a liability.
Director of administrative services Doug Sample said it would cost less than $1,000 to put in new guiderails.
