When: Columbia Borough Council meeting, Oct. 10. What happened: Three residents who complained about the width of a single-family home's new driveway opening discovered the borough only regulates commercial driveway exits and entrances. Details: Recent renovations to 801 Walnut St. include cutting 36 feet of curb to create an opening for a four-vehicle private parking area for a single-family structure.
