11/13/2003: "Perkasie Road Improvements Underway"

Several Perkasie Borough streets are scheduled for milling and paving beginning today and tomorrow, weather permitting, by Blooming Glen Contractors, Inc. They include:

  - W. Market Street from 2nd to 6th Streets
  - W. Chestnut Street from 2nd to 5th Streets
  - Callowhill Street from 5th to 7th Streets
  - W. Park Avenue from 3rd to 5th Streets
  - N. 7th Street from Buttonwood to 800 N. 7th Street

Blooming Glen will remove and replace 1-1/2 inches of asphalt on each road segment. New traffic loop detectors will then be installed at Market & 5th, and Callowhill & 5th. Paving of the new material will follow next week (again, weather permitting). During construction, no street parking in those areas will be allowed; signs will be posted.

Totally screwed up how long are these roads going to be left in the condition they are in. UNSAFE! UNMARKED! Very similar to the Ridge road fiasco(s) HOPEFULLY not as longstanding!

Blooming Glen Contractors was supposed to have finished the paving last week but they are behind schedule. The work is being done in tandem with work in Sellersville Borough, and is to be done today and tomorrow (Dec. 1 and 2). I did see them working in town this morning, so this should be resolved very shortly.

Late update from tonight's Council meeting: some paving was done today, but probably won't resume until Thursday because of cold weather in the forecast. But it should be done within the week.
