by Catherine Sutton-Martin DCNN Correspondent

Newtown Supervisors reaffirmed the acceptance of dedication for four township roads at the Sept. 22 meeting.

According to engineer Eileen Nelson of Stantec, it was discovered that the roadways were missing from the Liquid Fuels list and therefore, not included in the state funding. The roadways are Old Forest Road, Hempstead Road, Heather Way and Bakers Lane.

Nelson also advised that the notice to proceed was issued, Aug. 22, to Road-Con for the Gradyville Road Bridge. Even though the contracted completion date is July 13, 2015, Nelson told the supervisors that Stantec would impress upon the contractor the need for an earlier completion date.

Nelson also noted that a Sept. 23 notice to proceed was given to Gessler Construction for the townships Road Program, and that Reese Avenue, held over from last years program due to utility work, will be completed.

New Restaurant

Township Manager Michael Trio announced that the former Albertos restaurant will become Teca 2, a sister restaurant to the one in West Chester, and part of the Guadagnini restaurant group.

Trio also noted that the barn, which stood on the property is gone, and they must put up an historic plaque.

Leaves, Recycling

Trio announced that the township leaf collection will begin Oct. 13; the schedule is posted on the website.
