West Nile Virus Detected in Stroudsburg
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Vector Management has reported 1 mosquito sample testing positive for West Nile Virus in Stroudsburg Boro. Additional mosquito surveillance, sampling, larval control, and adult mosquito controls are being performed as necessary by Monroe County Mosquito-borne Disease Control staff.
We recommend residents take time to inspect their yards and take a few minutes to clean up and dump out any sources of stagnant water. Mosquito surveillance indicates that many common mosquito species in residential areas come from artificial containers left behind by humans. Artificial containers such as tires, buckets, child toys, tarps, and even swimming pools are preferred by mosquitoes because natural predators that prey on mosquito larvae are not present. One bucket or tire in someone’s backyard can produce hundreds to thousands of mosquitoes in a year.
May through October, mosquitoes can complete their life cycle within five to seven days. Residents should use repellents when spending time outside, a variety of which could be found at most home and garden centers. For individuals who don’t like to use repellents, we recommend taking an electric fan outside with you. Mosquitoes are weak flyers and the fan will help keep them away. As a last resort, residents can purchase insecticides from garden and hardware stores to spray in their yard but they need to be sure to follow the label instructions.
Please report any concerns to the Borough at (570) 421-5444, email lkopp@stroudsburgboro.com.
Borough of Stroudsburg Ordinance | Alternate Side Parking
The Borough’s Ordinance on Alternate Side Parking (§ 15-307) requires vehicles to be moved, and physically parked, on the alternate side from 5:00 pm to 5:00 pm the next day. As a courtesy, we will not ticket vehicles from between 5:00 pm and 5:30 pm, giving everyone the time to move their vehicles without potentially receiving a ticket. Outside of this window, you will receive a ticket if you are parked on the wrong side of the street. We understand that this may be an inconvenience to some. However, having cars potentially parked on both sides of the street causes serious safety issues for both vehicles and pedestrians. We thank you in advance for your consideration and support.

Your Input Needed | Take a Short Survey
Stroudsburg is considering a ban on single-use plastic carryout bags by businesses in the Borough. Numerous municipalities throughout Pennsylvania, and nationwide, as well as some states, have already enacted similar bans.
This ban would include plastic bags at the point of sale as well as for their use in pickup or delivery sales. As an alternative, businesses can either provide paper bags, have reusable bags for purchase, or encourage customers to bring their own reusable bags.
The plastic bag ban is an effort to reduce the use of wasteful single-use bags and their negative impact on the environment.

Sign the Petition to Scale Back the Expansion of I-80
Stroudsburg is the only town in Pennsylvania that is bisected by Interstate 80. The highway literally runs through the center of town, cutting Stroudsburg and South Stroudsburg in two.
PennDOT's proposal to expand I-80 will devastate the area, negatively impact the community, encroach on our pristine creek, streams and exceptional value watercourse, and require earthmoving activities (relocating a creek). It will crush Stroudsburg Borough, the Monroe County seat, and will wreak havoc on local businesses, cutting off accessibility to our thriving downtown Main Street. Two major hospitals, emergency services and fire companies will have dangerous response times due to the closure of two exits. Constant Main Street gridlock will be inevitable due to the closing of these exits and South Stroudsburg will be cut off with huge soundwalls.
This project will kill our tax base and lead to an increase in the borough tax, the school tax and the library tax. This would be devastating to our residents and business owners.
