Wednesday, June 5, 2002 Report to Borough Council by Public Works Department. Some payment issues are being worked through. CLICK HERE to read Wednesday, May 29, 2002 Marshall Manor Residents, There's been some encouraging activity on the construction site recently, and work is now scheduled to resume. PECO Energy is scheduled to arrive Monday, June 3rd to relocate their wires from the old Verizon pole to the newly installed pole behind 700 North Hillside Drive. Comcast will complete the utility relocation on Tuesday, with the moving of their cable lines. On Wednesday Trego Excavating will commence with the completion of the 48-inch pipeline installation, thus making the entire pipeline system active for the first time. Upon completion of this phase I will direct Trego to perform a significant amount of street and property restoration around North Hillside Drive, clean the area up, and move all construction materials to the upper end of the project. Meanwhile Trego's crew is on site today, excavating the remaining rock in the vicinity of 515 Marshall Drive, and dropping in a section of 42-inch pipe. Several sections of pipe will be placed to a point close to the stream to the rear of 515 Marshall Drive before the crew moves down to the lower end of the project next week. Work at the upper end will resume after the pipeline system is made active. Bob Wilpizeski Director of Public Works Tuesday, May 7, 2002 Update of storm water project provided by Bill Scott describing the nature of delays. Bill also made known to us that Marshall Drive will receive new water lines some time next year in which they will need to dig up the street again. He noted that due to the different planning stages and two different contractors, it was not possible to make both projects happen at one time. CLICK HERE to read
Construction as of 4-17-02.
Construction as of 4-03-02. Saturday, March 30, 2002 Annual Easter Egg Hunt a big success - more than 40 neighbors and friends showed up for the annual event. If you have photos, please contact marks@ccil.org. Friday, March 9, 2002 Borough Council given update as to the progress of the project. Letter forwarded to us by Bill Scott. CLICK HERE to read Saturday, February 9, 2002 Daily Local New publishes story on Storm Water Project.CLICK HERE to read Wednesday, January 3, 2002 Residents, this morning we conducted the Pre-Construction Conference with our project contractor, Trego Excavating, Inc. They are set to begin work, and have submitted their required contract documents, bonds and materials and product submittals. Pipe, pre-cast concrete manholes and other structures and supplies should begin being delivered to the site within a week to ten days. Construction work is scheduled to begin next week, likely Wednesday,January 9th or Thursday, January 10th, with excavation set to begin at thesite of Manhole No. 1 on North Hillside Drive, in front of the Brandowresidence, 700 North Hillside. As manholes, inlets and pipe are installed,the work will proceed up Marshall Drive, to a point beyond 501 MarshallDrive, to the Brenneis property at 301 East Marshall Street. This firstphase will likely take several weeks to construct, with progress beingdictated by weather conditions and the location of unknown utility lines.There will be little activity within private properties however, as thepipeline under the street will need to be installed completely before any active storm sewers or the stream itself is connected to it. Trego's crew will mark and cut the street at the beginning of the week, andanother crew will work ahead of the excavation conducting test digs tolocate as many utilities as possible. This will help minimize delays due tounforseen utility conflicts. I will pass on a general notice through the neighborhood this weekend advising everyone of the start of the work, and as always, if you have any questions or concerns, contact me at the Public Works Department.

The candles burn for several hours. You may create your own lumaries, or Wade Anderson of 505 Marshall Dr has generously agreed to deliver kits to your door for a nominal charge.
