Council approved a contract for preparation, grading and sidewalks at the Diamond Street playground project for $49,008.65 through Antonia Construction via CoStars, borough staff said. Playground equipment is expected to arrive in about three weeks and borough staff estimated assembly would take roughly one week. Nut graf: The contract covers subgrade stone, base and refined playground mulch and installation access; staff said the work will improve accessibility from existing sidewalks and that some tree work has already been completed in preparation. The borough engineer reported that the playground equipment and footings are being scheduled; staff said they will add sidewalk connections so strollers and wheelchairs can reach the equipment from the existing sidewalk network. Work on dead limb removal and a hazardous tree has already been completed. Staff said the project should be fully operational by mid-October, pending weather and contractor scheduling. Council approved the motion by roll-call vote. Ending: Staff said future work in the same park includes steps toward planning a dog park and the adjacent pickleball court, with pre-construction activity for the pickleball court already scheduled.
