On Tuesday, Coaldale borough council motioned to name an unnamed section off of 209 “Anthracite Avenue” per recommendation of the 911 communication center located in Pottsville.

Due to the center receiving multiple calls from the area and having trouble locating where exactly the emergency is occurring, they recommended to the Coaldale police department that the area be named.

The area is following 209 leading toward Lansford on the right.
