In Narberth, kids get to wear their costume two nights in a row, because the night before Halloween is the Narberth Halloween Parade. The local kids all don their costumes and muster in the St. Margaret’s parking lot around 6pm. By 6:30, the parade starts making it’s way though town, past crowds of cheering spectators. The parade ends in Narberth Park where kids get a goody bag, cookies, juice and treats, courtesy of the Fourth of July Committee.

Stop by Narberth's Candy Cane Playground and check out the new addition from Public Works!  From Utility Line Services: "I wanted to take this opportunity to update everyone on our progress in Narberth. To date we completed all the main installation, side streets tied in, and gas on for all of our 2018 Narberth work. The service crews are working heavily on the Essex Ave project and have completed half of the services here. The service crews will be progressing to the following streets over the next two weeks.
Since the last email we have completed the services on and retired the low pressure mains on the following streets.
The crew performing the retirements will continue following the service crews over the next two weeks on the same streets in preparation to retire the main as soon as the last service in each section is transferred." This excel spreadsheet has more information about the project timing going forward:

Bagels and coffee will be available at the meeting, courtesy of our Borough Council. NBA topics include upcoming events: the Sidewalk Festival, Oktoberfest, Witches of Narberth, and Dickens Festival. Details for each of these at the NBA website. In addition to NBA business, we will have an informational session with two Borough Council members, Cyndi Rickards and Rob McGreevey.

***Please note that Brush and Yard Waste collection will be on August 25th! Brush and vegetation must be placed in brown paper leaf bags, available at hardware stores. For additional Borough information, please visit our website https://www.narberthpa.gov/.   Dear Neighbor - It has been a tough year for trees in the Borough. We’ve lost many of our most beautiful, biggest and oldest trees to age, disease and a series of harsh winter storms! The Shade Tree Commission and a team of dedicated volunteers have been working to restore the borough’s tree cover and have planted over 100 new trees over the last few years! But we’re still losing trees faster than we can plant them… This fall, the Shade Tree Commission will again be leading volunteers in planting trees. We need your help in planting the next hundred! Our tree order will be due in late summer, so if you are interested in providing a home for a tree, please let us know soon. We plant trees along the streets and sidewalks, as they provide maximum benefit for reducing heat island effects, shading our sidewalks and calming traffic. Trees are planted either in the strip between the sidewalk and the street, or on front, side or rear lawns within 10' of the sidewalk. The trees typically cost round $60 and are planted by volunteers - a great bargain! If you are interested in providing a home for a tree on your property, please fill out the form here: https://tinyurl.com/stc-fall-18. Sincerely, Narberth Shade Tree Commission Fred Hansell (Chair), Rob McGreevey, Rick Tralies, Carson Clark & Steve DiRico   Check next week's newsletter to see the new addition to the Narberth Playground!

Another biweekly update on our progress in Narberth. Since the last update the crew laying main on Narberth Ave have nearly completed their installation from Haverford Ave to Woodbine with a tentative date set for this Wednesday for the tie in and gas on. From There they will continue laying on Narberth Ave from Woodbine Ave to Montgomery Ave with lateral pieces extending out to the tie in points on Wayne Ave and Price Ave East of Narberth. The conversion of the gas main on Barrie Rd off of Essex Ave went without a hitch completing our work on Barrie. The crew that did the conversion has since moved over to the culvert work at Woodside and Wynnewood once they have the pipe through the culvert they will continue installing the main up Wynnewood Rd to the train bridge. Once all the main is installed through the culvert and up to the train bridge we will put the main on gas. Once on gas there will be a single tie in by the dead end of Elmwood on the opposite side of the creek to tie in the leg we laid in 2016. The crew laying main on Grayling Ave have completed the installation and the main is now active. They have since moved on to another township. We will be moving a crew in Monday next week to begin retiring some of the old mains where the service crews have transferred all of the services to the new main. The streets we intend to retire are listed below.
Once the mains are retired on these streets this crew will move up to Price Ave to install the main between Narberth Ave and Grayling Ave. This main will not be on gas until the main on Narberth Ave between Woodbine and Montgomery Ave is tied in. The service crews may begin to reenter Narberth mid to late next week as they wrap up the first stretch of services on Montgomery Ave in Lower Merion. They will move to Grayling Ave between Woodbine and Price first then move to the Essex Ave project working services on the streets listed below.
 "I wanted to take this opportunity to update you all on our progression in Narberth with our 2018 PECO AGIMP project. Since the last email the crew we had laying main on Forrest Ave have completed their installation and the main was brought on gas yesterday. They have moved to the Narberth Ave project. They will start at Haverford Ave and progress toward Woodbine where the first section will be tied in on both ends and gas on. After that they will progress on Narberth Ave to and through the intersection at Montgomery Ave and Narberth Ave and complete the second phase tie in and gas on.
The crew laying main on Woodbine between Montgomery Ave and Essex Ave have completed the installation and gas on procedure. This crew will be moving to the installation of the gas main under the culvert at Woodside and Wynnewood rd. upon the completion of the installation of the main through the culvert the crew will continue to lay the main up Wynnewood Rd to the train bridge then gas on for all the pipe installed. The main crew installing on Meeting house Lane between Iona Ave and Montgomery Ave as well as Williams Ave between Meetinghouse and Woodbine have completed their installation and gas on procedure. They then moved to Wayne Ave between Narberth and Essex and have got the gas on there as well. They have moved to Grayling Ave between Price ave and Woodbine and we expect to have the gas on this main by the end of next week. This crew will then be moving on to another township. The conversion of the gas main on Barrie rd off of Essex Ave is scheduled to be done on Friday July 6th. The service crews have moved over to our work in Lower Merion township on Montgomery Ave . Since the last email they have completed the services on :
The service crews should be in Lower Merion for the bulk of next week possibly returning Friday after the 4th of July or the week following. Upon there return they will be working on the services in the Essex ave and Wynnedale project. If there are any questions or issues please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your ongoing support." Rich Brunner, Supervisor |
