The Coaldale Advisory Council reported that Water Street (Route 209) in Coaldale is again cracking and sinking because of mine subsidence.

The street, resurfaced last October by the state highway department, has several cracks of sufficient width and depth to warrant extreme caution by motorists.The borough council will also be asked to repair openings in other streets within the community where damage has been caused by subsidence. Thus far, the major portion of damage has been on Water Street, although damage is now being reported on both Ridge and High Streets.
