Skate Park Progressing


Construction at the New Skate Park (25k image)

Milder weather today gave workers an opportunity to begin constructing the various ramps and other equipment in the new skate park along Constitution Avenue in Perkasie. Early snow and cold weather prevented work from being completed by Thanksgiving as originally hoped.

The large octagonal concrete pad for the pavilion has been completed, and the pavilion itself has arrived and will be constructed as weather permits. The new traffic signals have also been installed and work is almost complete on them. Paving of the roadways and construction of the sidewalks is essentially complete. But much of the landscaping will not be finished until spring.

Perkasie Olde Towne's "Home for the Holidays" celebration was scheduled to begin this evening in the Seventh and Market Street area, with holiday music, tree lighting, Santa's arrival, carriage rides, and more, but has been postponed because of the season's first major snowfall.

Borough Council Committees and Public Hearing Tonight


Perkasie Borough Council Committees meet tonight, following a special meeting of Borough Council for a public hearing authorizing the Bucks County Redevelopment Authority to apply for a grant from the US Environmental Protection Agency on Perkasie's behalf, for up to $300,000 to help remediate environmental conditions at 207 and 209 S. Ninth Streets in Perkasie.

Among other items on the Committees' agendas are preliminary/final approval of the First Savings Bank/Silk Works Land Development Plan, discussion of waiver requests for the Hewitt Minor Subdivision Plan, discussion of the sale of property at Seventh & Market Streets, Board and Commission appointments, proposed revisions to zoning regulations for elderly housing, 2004 wage and salary schedules, 2004 real estate millage rate, and 2004-2008 Capital improvement plans.

The public is welcome to attend; the meeting begins at 7 PM with the public hearing, and committees to immediately follow, at Borough Hall, 7th & Chestnut Streets, in Perkasie.
