The manager said the borough will request a grant-administration services agreement with its grant-administration partners to handle application work. The manager said the administration fee for that service would be about $6,000. “I mean, that is $6,000. That's for the application process and all the administration that they do,” the borough manager said.

Nut graf: if the council places the agreement and grant applications on the agenda and approves them, the borough would engage paid grant-administration services to prepare and submit multimodal grant applications to state agencies; the manager said the fee covers application preparation and administration.

The manager did not present a draft contract at the meeting; instead, he asked to place the item on a future council agenda for consideration. He said staff are reviewing grant-application parameters and would return with an agenda item when the application timeline and paperwork are ready.

Discussion vs. decision: the meeting recorded only the manager’s intent to apply and to ask council to consider a services agreement; there was no council vote or contractual award recorded.

Ending: if council agrees to place the item on an agenda and later approves a contract, the borough will proceed with application submission and administration under the terms negotiated with the selected grant-administration vendor.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Caucus Meeting June 3, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Clifton Heights’ borough manager said staff plan to seek a grant-administration services agreement and to reapply for multimodal grants through DCED and PennDOT, estimating $6,000 for the administration fee if placed on the agenda.","taxTitle","Clifton Heights, Delaware County, Pennsylvania","taxId",72239,"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},6214575,"Borough engineer: road program bids to open June 17; recommendation to follow",37,457000,494000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3666419-d365cc9ac2a69e0019609818dc71ee9c&start=457&end=494","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3666419-d365cc9ac2a69e0019609818dc71ee9c/thumbnail_457000.jpg","/articles/6214575/Clifton-Heights/Delaware-County/Pennsylvania/Borough-engineer-road-program-bids-to-open-June-17-recommendation-to-follow","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6214575-59d3f23a8b4fb3c9bbaf599d9bfccaca/orig.mp4?Expires=1776763255&Signature=Fpi3VSQOIk6CDM9yBvnYO5CjV-5wG8sSFqYFEm4TN7EOOPsa-GpMk4dlqQ8Pp~I5l3mCutwFgfnb1v~rLLrYXJ4cY4QW00ZUrYQ8cBll0LlWttff25dfCxM~shqNFlrK~GJ0CkKjWzJZmQaKEgTDESDqLRSD220X-VM91~Xm7W-AazrLGF3H8gjODtS5GgHW5oNVflEg1mxpaI0lTkeBVg4cdy1xT9j96G5nrxav03wPAPAQ8esemZL25eTPsJMGAYffDk31lY55mwfpgh8LCpQOPkkosM0bQTgugAGWXKUV6oc5Anb0VKSRUD3cjsnWSN7bw4f1JZ3GWwQLERxJrA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The borough engineer told the Clifton Heights Borough Council that the bid opening for the borough road program is set for June 17 and that staff expect to bring a recommendation for award at the next meeting.

The engineer said the county has implemented “certain new deadlines for the use of liquid fuels and the reporting of liquid fuels,” and added that contracts awarded before June will comply with those deadlines. “The bid opening for the road program work is the seventeenth, which is the next meeting. So I expect to have a recommendation for your consideration and and and award of that contract,” the engineer said.

Nut graf: the bid opening starts the formal procurement step for the borough’s road program; compliance with new liquid-fuels reporting deadlines was flagged as a scheduling constraint for contract awards.

In discussion, the engineer said the borough will complete required submissions in time to meet the county’s new schedule and expects to present a contract award recommendation to council. No formal award or council vote occurred during the meeting; the bid opening is procedural, and a subsequent meeting will include a recommendation for action.

The engineer did not provide an estimated contract amount at the meeting; council members did not move or vote on the road contract during the session.

Ending: staff anticipate a recommendation at the next council meeting following the June 17 bid opening and will present details about bids and any recommended award then.","Clifton Heights’ borough engineer announced a bid opening for the road program on June 17 and said contracts awarded before June will comply with new county liquid-fuels deadlines.",{"_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},6214579,"Police add patrols, change shifts as Springfield Road closure diverts traffic onto Clifton Heights side streets",166,181000,347000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3666419-d365cc9ac2a69e0019609818dc71ee9c&start=181&end=347","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3666419-d365cc9ac2a69e0019609818dc71ee9c/thumbnail_181000.jpg","/articles/6214579/Clifton-Heights/Delaware-County/Pennsylvania/Police-add-patrols-change-shifts-as-Springfield-Road-closure-diverts-traffic-onto-Clifton-Heights-side-streets","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6214579-df52afb6ca076539a4e01c664a7f1b08/orig.mp4?Expires=1776763255&Signature=VqXjrcfQv5B8H08z~pPRZD0cFwyEwAEK3TO7ZzEGb~6IqlDnFooHqJDM10mBPGfZLOyNkuwtCbQThfsycTM9sV-ah2umBoo22R~1Fx4J5g4KW-DYmxSN8gxO09W42ZYW2xJAE0LwU~nCG73zJtozRZC2SmsJLNrq2-~UYbNDrDPJKIeGOhv0htdjv4F45ScXHiJ8dakvmh9nHUembQui7jVhmj~mCaTyVU8BVYtqI-MP0Smz2I3TtPxTSWtTI7DYlYMrO~cQ7VAU8vlEjgqFyJAh~aPxpHYwr71LzqdeLRW3qvEvYqHbYXgzWeRlnifrPIrrh6lgnjnE~ba50rOsrQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At a Clifton Heights Borough Council meeting, the borough’s police chief reported that the closure of Springfield Road will last “several months” and is diverting substantial traffic onto local side streets.

The police chief said the borough has “been cleaning up some dead ends with traffic” since Springfield Road closed and that officers reshuffled duty hours so an overnight squad that had worked 3 a.m. to 3 p.m. will instead work 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. He said the change will put “extra extra officers on doing rush hour both in the morning and afternoon to address the issues in those areas that are affected by the road closure.”

The nut graf: the extended closure and adjacent school construction are creating sustained changes in local traffic patterns, and borough officials said they are coordinating with PennDOT and adjusting signage and patrols to reduce safety risks for residents and schoolchildren.

Council and staff described where traffic is concentrating and what the borough is doing. The police chief said the closure has pushed traffic onto Baltimore Pike and onto side streets including Providence and Oak, North Church, North Sycamore and Summit, creating unfamiliar drivers and speeding risks on neighborhood streets. He said signage adjustments were under way and that the borough manager and he had scheduled “meetings with PennDOT throughout the whole project and the school construction to address issues as they come up.”

The chief advised patience and emphasized enforcement: “Everybody's gotta realize that you have to have patience,” he said, adding that the borough will deploy extra officers and refine signage to keep traffic moving and protect pedestrians near schools.

Borough staff said the closure decision reflected road geometry near the school project and a desire to expedite utility and construction work; the chief said the closed section is narrow and curved, making single-lane flagging less practical for the short term. He said the borough may revisit the closure and the use of flaggers once crews move past the narrow section and the road widens.

Discussion vs. decision: the reassignment of patrol shifts and the signage adjustments are operational actions the police chief implemented; the meetings with PennDOT are a planned coordination step. No formal council vote or ordinance was reported on the record regarding the road closure or enforcement changes.

Officials asked residents to be aware of changed traffic patterns and to report problem locations to borough staff so signage and patrols can be adjusted.

Looking ahead, the borough said it will continue to coordinate with PennDOT and school-construction managers and may reconsider traffic-control methods as the work progresses.","After a multi-month closure of Springfield Road, Clifton Heights police reassigned officers, adjusted signage and scheduled meetings with PennDOT to address increased side-street traffic and safety concerns.","actionData","errors"]
