Special NBCJMA Public Meeting
Tuesday, June 24, 2025 at 1:30 PM * 15 S Congress St, Newtown, PA
The regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, June 10 was canceled due to a lack of a quorum. See the agenda, which includes “Motion for Adoption of Policy for Conduct of Authority Meetings.”
Recall that resident Valerie Mihalek asked if the Sewer Authority meetings could be moved to the evenings and videotaped to be more convenient for residents to attend (view the video of her comments). BOS Chair, Ms. Snyder said it would be difficult for her to attend another evening meeting and the Authority members felt the same. But if she resigns from the Board, which she unofficially indicated she will do, perhaps the Authority would be open to having public meetings at night when it is easier for working residents (and Board members) to attend.
Newtown Creek Pedestrian Bridge Plan Q&A
Thursday, June 26, 2025 at 7:00 PM * 100 Municipal Dr, Newtown, PA
Public Meeting to Present Plans for the Newtown Creek Pedestrian Bridge. The new pedestrian bridge will cross Newtown Creek next to the old trolley bridge foundations between Frost Lane in the Borough and Sycamore Street in the Township. Come hear a presentation by our professional design consultants. The purpose of the meeting will be to gather public input on the design of the project. This is a joint project between the Newtown Creek Coalition, Newtown Township, and Newtown Borough.
IMHO, the initial concept (see image) lacks the idyllic “bucolic ambience” we have come to expect in Newtown Borough and in the Township. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
