Barbara Ormsby reports Nassau Civic Association mothers in Ridley Township mobilized to secure a sliding board for a neighborhood play area.

Residents oppose 69th Street Terminal plans
Residents voiced objections at the third public hearing on the 69th Street Terminal reconstruction in Upper Darby. Plans include extending Brief Avenue to connect the bus terminal with West Chester Pike, with busway fencing and traffic signals to be studied before construction. The project, costing about 68.8 million dollars over 10 years, calls for a rebuilt passenger terminal, two new office buildings, and new transit facilities beneath West Chester Pike.
