Meet Mack TUESDAY

You may have participated in past “Meet Mack Monday” Zoom meetings. Sometimes, however, Monday evening is not the best time for hosting these meetings with residents. So I decided to have some “Meet Mack TUESDAY” Zoom meetings! Hopefully, you'll be able to attend the next one:

Meeting Date & Time: TUESDAY, 25 February 2025, 7:00 PM

Agenda includes:

  • Short PPT Presentation by John Mack - Review of recent Newtown area news/issues followed by discussion. Topics include:
    • Proposed Newtown Sewer Treatment Plant Update - Review of Board of Supervisors (BOS) letter advising NBCJMA (aka Sewer Authority) to “IMMEDIATELY ABANDON” its plans to build a sewer plant in the township. What does the letter say? Why did the BOS take this step? What’s the next steps? Can the BOS actually STOP THE PLANT? What are the options for the land should the Sewer Authority actually abandon the plan? Will the Sewer Authority reverse the 47% rate hike used to cover the purchase of the site for the plant? More... including review of expected response from NBCJMA
    • Pedestrian Safety: Newtown-Yardley Rd Sidewalk Proposal – What was PennDOT’s decision regarding using grant money for the Commons sidewalk project to construct a sidewalk along Newtown-Yardly Rd along the Newtown Trail leading into the Borough? What’s the potential roadblock(s) to getting this done?
    • Sunoco Pipeline Update – There has been a Sunoco jet fuel pipeline leak in Upper Makefield. Some homeowners’ wells have been contaminated. Meanwhile, Sunoco has dug up a portion of the line in Newtown, along Eagle Road. There was a public meeting attended by Sunoco, PA Dept. of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration on February 13, 2025. What was said at that meeting? What impact does this have on Newtown residents?
    • Why is the township looking for a new bank, new traffic engineer, new municipal engineering firm, and new audiovisual company?
    • The 2025 Municipal Election – Two positions will be open on the Newtown BOS: John Mack and Dennis Fisher do not plan to run for re-election. Who is on the ballot? What are the major issues? What’s your opinion?
    • Suggest topic(s) via the RSVP form
