Jenkintown Borough working in conjunction with the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission, Johnson Controls and Uni-Vest Bank has finalized the contract to replace all existing streetlights with energy efficient LED streetlights.
Jenkintown Borough Council approved joining with the DVRPC (Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission) and JCI (Johnson Control Inc.) on the five-county LED street light replacement program. The Borough has completed the extensive application / review process and all street lights are now slated to be replaced with energy saving LED street lights. The installation of the Borough wide LED street light replacements will begin in July 2017. A brief synopsis of the program is that the lighting needs have been reviewed, designed and Engineered. The LED lights will be provided and installed. The cost of the project is offset by Utility rebates and the reduced cost of electricity through energy savings. The design calculations show the project paying for itself in seven years. The lights have an expected maintenance free life of twenty years. Read More »
Due to the nature of winter storm Stella, the Borough has extended the requirements for removing ice and snow from sidewalks, to this Saturday evening, 18 March.
Under normal conditions sidewalks are required to be cleared within 24 hours of the end of the storm. The heavy, icy precipitation we received was certainly a challenge. And it is frustrating when our efforts to plow streets require re-clearing of some sidewalk sections. We get it and we empathize. Read More »
