HOLIDAY ANGEL DECORATIONS – Update – Please Read

The Borough would like to share an update regarding the holiday angel decorations that have been displayed in past years. Several of the angels have become damaged or are no longer functioning, and unfortunately we are not able to safely or effectively display them this season.

If you previously purchased an angel and would like to take possession of it, you may do so by calling Borough Hall to arrange a pickup time. Please note that walk-in pickups cannot be accommodated, as the angels are not stored at the Borough building and must be brought on-site by staff. 610-264-0571

We understand how meaningful these decorations have been to many in our community, and we are saddened that we are unable to continue the angel display this year. The Borough is actively looking into new holiday display options so we can continue creating a festive atmosphere for residents.

Thank you for your understanding as we work toward a refreshed and reliable holiday display for everyone to enjoy.

UPDATE – Walnut Street/St. John Street Project

Reaching out to share schedule information for the work on Walnut St / St John St and also provide contact information.

Regarding schedule, below is a quick overview of what we expect:

  • 10/3: we will have our survey crew completing stakeout in the intersection today along with our supervisors onsite looking at the area to game-plan for Monday. We will also be hauling stone in today to be placed in the off-road easement to stock for next week.
  • Monday 10/6: we will start our larger operation with the road being closed, detour initiated, deliveries, fence install, bypass pump setup, vac truck work, etc. Begin excavation for tie in if time permits.
  • Tuesday 10/7 – Monday 10/13: tie in and new pipe installation. We may be looking at working Saturday 10/11- that is TBD.
  •  
  • 10/14-10/17: Curb install, sidewalk install, clean up, trench restoration, vacate the road. We would use Saturday 10/18 if needed to complete these items.
  • 10/20: continue work in the off-road easement moving toward the project site.
  • 10/21: Sanitary flush & video. This should be relatively noninvasive. There will be some traffic control but in general the road will be open such that the Borough can prep for the parade and buses/school traffic can flow. We should be able to do this between 9am and 3pm to minimize disruption.
