Whether or not Green Street in Walnutport becomes a public road remains to be determined.

Borough solicitor Michael Corriere provided an update on the matter at Thursday’s borough council meeting.

Corriere said the borough is trying to determine how many property owners are in favor and how many are not.

Corriere said there needs to be a majority of 51% in order for Green Street to become a public road.

Several property owners attended council’s special meeting last week to discuss the topic.

Council decided at that time it would circulate a petition to determine what the majority of property owners who abut Green Street want to do.

Corriere said at that time that if the majority of property owners want to go through with it, then council would proceed with how the ordinance is advertised.

If an ordinance would be adopted, Corriere said it would make Green Street a public road.

He said most of Green Street would be two-way. A portion of the road would be one-way.

Green Street has been a topic of discussion for several years. In 2018, council approved a petition of the residents to grant their request to open up the street.
