Creekside Community Park Pedestrian Walk Bridge Update 2/20/24:
Repairs to the footbridge could not take place until further engineering inspections could be done. Pennoni Associates, Inc., the borough engineer, is still working on the footbridge inspection report which should be finalized in early March. However, we should have an engineering repair plan available next week for contractors to bid on the project for repairs.
Separately, Williams Gas Pipeline Company is due to return this spring to complete the ballfield restoration work. The work couldn’t be completed until additional DEP permits were in place. Ballfield underground drainage work, grass sodding and DiamondTex infield dirt will be installed.
A new pavilion will be erected from funding also provided by the Williams Gas Co.
The ballfield dugout roofs will be replaced with new framing and shingles.
