Renovation of a set of row houses on Park Avenue continues to be a thorn in Ben Avon's side. A couple of residents at Tuesday's council meeting expressed their concern and displeasure over the fact that the area has been torn up for a long period of time, but that little actual work has been done.

Victoria Haynes said her main concern is safety.

"I see children playing on the streets and torn up sidewalks and no precautions are taken. I don't know what council can do, but I think the site should be contained and closed."

Avalon Elementary parking Borough officials and Avalon PTO members have come up with a plan to help ease parking problems created when parents drop-off and pick-up their child-ren at school.

A resolution approved by Avalon Council at its Aug. 18 meeting will allow parents to purchase a parking permit that will let them park in front of the school, between North School Street and North Chestnut Street, from 7:30 until 8:30 a.m. and from 2:30 until 4 p.m. on weekdays.
