Jenkintown Notes - Meeting this evening
|
Hi Reader I've been writing up my perspective on parking in Jenkintown, the budget process, street lights, and the new trail and sidewalk along Washington Ave. These aren't ready to share, and I want to get this info out to you in case you're not aware. Tonight there is a presentation about the DCED study: Police Cost to Benefit Analysis. Here's the pdf that was shared via the Borough's email. Here's a clip from Manager Locke's email: The DCED presentation will take place in person at Jenkintown Borough Hall, 700 Summit Avenue Jenkintown, PA 19046 on Wednesday, November 13th at 7:00 PM. As are all Borough Public meetings there will be a ZOOM meeting link available should you be unable to attend in person. The ZOOM meeting link can be requested by emailing the Borough Manager at Glocke@jenkintownboro.com Public meetings can also be viewed over Live Feed on the Borough Facebook page. I'll try to follow up on the other topics when I can. Steve Feel free to email me with questions. |

Hi Reader, I realize not everyone wants these emails, so feel free to unsubscribe at the end of this email. Sometimes we ask questions to ponder whether there is a better solution.

Walking meetups Walking is a way to talk about problems and options that might lead to improvements. I want to follow up from last week, first by saying...
Hi Reader, Sorry I didn't get an email out for the last couple of months. I hope you are well. Tonight at Borough Hall is an important meeting at 7 pm. It's about parking. We're looking for opportunities and solutions to make parking better (as opposed to complaints). Some core areas relate to municipal code, permit parking and digital payments. As of September 15, our bank no longer takes quarters. Kudos I think Borough staff, committees and my fellow Council members are doing a good job....
Hi Reader, Last night we had a storm, and it affected a lot of Jenkintown residents. I talked to Council President Jay Conners this morning who said that Public Works started working on this early. And I talked with a friend on Runnymede who said a lot had been cleared from the street. There's a lot going on to address storm damage. Newbold, between West and Clement. I will send out another email tomorrow on other topics, but let me know if you have concerns that I can help with. Steve (215)...
