8/24 UPdate on PECO gas line project

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.

  • Essex Ave from Montgomery Ave to Haverford Ave
  • Forrest Ave from Haverford Ave to Woodbine Ave
  • Wayne Ave From Essex Ave to Narberth Ave
  • Price Ave from Grayling Ave to Narberth Ave
 
Since the last email we have completed the services on and retired the low pressure mains on the following streets.

  • Williams Ave between Meetinghouse Lane and Woodbine Ave
  • Meetinghouse Lane from Iona Ave to Montgomery Ave
  • Iona Ave from Haverford Ave to Woodbine Ave
  • Iona Ave from Woodbine Ave to Montgomery Ave
  • Grayling Ave from Woodbine Ave to Price Ave
  • Elm Terrace from Essex to the end of the cul-de-sac
  • Shady Lane from Wynnedale Ave to Montgomery Ave (retiring today)
 
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."

We are having an NBA meeting this Friday morning, August 24, from 8am to 9am. It will be held at Sweet Mabel Studio, on "The Hill" at 41 N. Narberth Ave.  

Please arrive on time because the meeting will end promptly at 9am so the Studio can conduct their morning classes.  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. Their topic is the proposed plastic bag and straw ordinance. See the letter from Cyndi Rickards, here. A version of this ordinance could become Borough law soon, so educate yourself now. 

See you Friday.

​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
