A) Winter Use of Urban Lakes & Waterways
CHAIR SIROFCHUCK welcomed the public for coming. He stated the Borough Assembly requested the
Parks and Rec Committee to investigate the winter use of urban lakes and waterways by motorized
vehicles and by all users to determine if there are issues similar to the summer use of Island Lake. We
want to make a long list of the conflicts and issues so the committee can look at the issues received to
determine where we need to go from here.
