Public Works reported it began removing meters and installing signage on Penn Street to Myer Avenue and estimated “All signage and meters can be down by Friday of next week,” with the Passport system live on “Monday the third — March third.”

Councilor Nicole Beattie and other members asked how the borough will notify businesses that receive visitors from outside the area. Borough staff and the mayor said they will walk each business block to advise owners and distribute information, and meters and new signage will include QR codes and directions to the Passport app for drivers.

Councilors also asked for website postings and flyers so visitors and residents understand how to pay. The borough manager said the Passport platform is set up and the remaining step is installing signs and finishing meter removal; staff expect to begin enforcement after signage and materials are in place.

No ordinance or new fee was adopted at the meeting; the item discussed implementation logistics, outreach to businesses and the expected March 3 start date for the Passport parking platform.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","February 20, 2025 Yeadon Borough Council Legislative Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The borough will implement the Passport parking system beginning March 3, remove meters, install signage and notify local businesses by flyer and on-site visits; councilors said app guidance and QR codes will be used for drivers.","taxTitle","Yeadon, Delaware County, Pennsylvania","taxId",71512,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6314238,"Yeadon public works schedules patch after camera inspection finds small sewer breaks under street dip",140,418785,559531,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2384684-415e3f0de805747e6da71b45e028a2b8&start=418&end=559","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2384684-415e3f0de805747e6da71b45e028a2b8/thumbnail_418785.jpg","/articles/6314238/Yeadon/Delaware-County/Pennsylvania/Yeadon-public-works-schedules-patch-after-camera-inspection-finds-small-sewer-breaks-under-street-dip","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6314238-cd69c318f3fbd04ce2c0e30e38849978/orig.mp4?Expires=1777123156&Signature=MQMYQuAAC2oynx6x0CNPLgI5QgjZ5N5Bce~wcYL35YHuSES0t-aAmfGZZIcIgbcoXgA5jBSa~XTFczsfmXSPwkvM08geZotj4lRcHgv6c1HVyM13DNihU0YAyI4tZlPxE3cYcgsqxkTZWlRCPS99YyfluF0vUHMjRUq6QQU3INZrt0GZTmGS6ZL7RnCyJyGjKdA7NcJbDo2cyKxPYiwdzDv5xGHJg06TbWyjwXxiAEZFa~fuTHqDBsYf2tx95aB-lU8QPYJJd9NqnU3r7iK9KxsitqG-Gq8VL-s79bDmPjKV430jJLHwWF~kPdMCUjTJlKiNipe9zd4qOHRoHazoWA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A Yeadon resident pressed borough officials about a persistent dip and hole in a neighborhood street, and Public Works said crews have inspected the site, found two small breaks in the sewer main, and scheduled repairs.

“I was here, I don't know, last year or December ... I still haven't heard or seen anyone come out there,” resident Darian Hammer told the council about a dip near 21225 and a large daily disturbance.

The Public Works director reported that crews ran a camera down the line and “found 2 small breaks in the main” and that crews had been on site for several hours to assess the issue. The director said crews will place a temporary black cover over small gaps for safety, and a contractor will be brought in for repairs. A patch was scheduled for the next day and the contractor was expected on site the next week to provide an estimate.

Councilors told the resident the borough would follow up and provide a near-term timeline; the public-works official indicated the full repair cost and schedule would be confirmed after the contractor’s estimate.

No formal vote was taken; the item was handled as an operational public‑works response with a short-term schedule for a temporary safety measure and a contractor estimate for permanent repairs.","A resident raised concerns about a street dip and pothole; borough crews inspected with a camera, found two small sewer breaks and scheduled a patch the next day and a contractor estimate the following week.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6314243,"Residents press Yeadon council on missed trash pickups and Graceland Cemetery upkeep; borough to publish reminders",1696,101935,1798343,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2384684-415e3f0de805747e6da71b45e028a2b8&start=101&end=1798","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2384684-415e3f0de805747e6da71b45e028a2b8/thumbnail_101935.jpg","/articles/6314243/Yeadon/Delaware-County/Pennsylvania/Residents-press-Yeadon-council-on-missed-trash-pickups-and-Graceland-Cemetery-upkeep-borough-to-publish-reminders","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6314243-d538f4be5404ed08f6898b97098750b8/orig.mp4?Expires=1777123156&Signature=g51aMGVlLwjUOY2uhLD6SvJhheZP9eL3uTIaq2FWhXHIKbe3hw246p0NAhB9fkf4yLNBszRUhKPi6h8Dw0o~6OLrDXS9YRc1YW8d1XoaYGRMzzc3VH4rt6qzsMrJryhKUe7dZWiSoSuhhT04B0amq7rIbKXFAH1tH9O09pxFPhgVeGZZeEecAm9H~dzsS7OA0pmHLNdK1cqtp5Ws2pxZhnl3WSphBAnVwMpmUtoL3RF9-lhmeBl-WMhP35vYSH5DtdUimjhsgIQteoMpPPzTUWTarzldDSA3QHKSFb-ALpjNDUfLCyCQl~zpcrKTsYK27ZBWpUDkHQMBakkI02sv7Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Residents urged the Yeadon Borough Council to take action after repeated missed trash collections and called for better public outreach and enforcement.

“My problem is, too often, they skip us,” resident Stacy Johnson told the council, adding she lives on the last block of North Longacre and saying missed pickups were “a public health hazard.”

Borough officials responded that the trash‑collection contract includes provisions for missed collections and that Public Works will assist in removal and charge the carrier when necessary. A borough official said residents’ best option is to report missed pickups so crews can return. Council members also said the borough will post reminders on its website and add notices to the borough newsletter.

During public comment, Claire Johnson and other volunteers discussed upgrades planned for Graceland Cemetery. Claire Johnson said planning work is under way and that the group hopes the project will begin in April or May; she displayed photos for council members. The borough manager confirmed plans to begin upgrades in the coming spring months.

Finance and operations staff later told councilors that the borough will send trash‑reminder magnets to every household, paid from extra recycling proceeds, and that the magnets will provide simplified pickup information for residents.

No formal policy change was enacted at the meeting. Councilors directed staff to use the borough website, newsletter and mailed magnets to improve resident awareness and to rely on Public Works to respond to reported missed pickups under the existing contract.","Residents told council missed trash collections create public‑health hazards and urged stronger enforcement; the borough said contract language exists, Public Works will assist and magnets and website notices will be used to remind residents.

The council approved the Jan. 9 caucus and Jan. 16 legislative meeting minutes by roll call. It extended probationary periods through March 20, 2025, for employee 10273 (code enforcement officer) and employee 10274 (front desk receptionist/call coordinator). The council also approved Resolution 2025-002 to appoint Eliza Ford to the borough zoning hearing board for a five-year term effective the day of the vote.

Mayor Rowan Hopkins asked the council to hire three candidates — Donald Beas, Bridal McElwee and Jason Ben Bendett — as full‑time police officers for the Yeadon Police Department “contingent upon successful completion of a background investigation, medical, physical, psychological exam, and polygraph.” The council approved the hires by roll-call vote.

On finance items, the council approved the accounts payable list for February 2025, additions to that list and the January 2025 cash balance report after discussion in which Council members asked for clarifications about donations, grant drawdowns, and legal fees. Finance Director Nafeez Nichols addressed questions about timing of receipts and fund reconciliations.

All recorded votes in the meeting were unanimous yes votes by President Latoya Monroe, Vice President Liana Roachloud (variants in the record: Roachlau/Roeklaut), Councilor Nicole Beattie (Beatty), Councilor Antoinette Drouhard (Truhart/Trehart variants), Councilor Michael Trent, Councilor Jesse Pietz/Peetz, and Councilor Loren Johnson.

The actions passed were procedural or administrative rather than new policy adoptions; several items noted that personnel approvals were contingent on standard background checks and examinations. Items that require further administrative follow-up — for example, onboarding checks for the new officers and grant closeouts for capital projects — were referred to staff for implementation.
