Council accepts easements and dedications for Bridge–Star intersection improvements at 101 Bridge St.
Summary
Council adopted a resolution accepting permanent traffic-signal easement, deeds of dedication for Star Street and Ashland Street, and reimbursement of attorney fees from the 101 Bridge Street property owner to enable intersection improvements.
Phoenixville Borough Council on Tuesday adopted a resolution authorizing acceptance of property interests needed to complete intersection improvements at Bridge and Star streets, including a permanent traffic-signal easement and dedications of portions of Star Street and Ashland Street from the property at 101 Bridge Street (Chester County UPI 15-9-157).
The resolution, adopted 8-0, authorizes acceptance of the permanent traffic-signal easement, deeds of dedication for Star Street and Ashland Street, and reimbursement of the property owner—s attorney fees. It further contemplates potential future management of a nearby parking lot by the borough as part of the agreement. The council record shows the motion passed without amendment.
A borough staff presenter summarized that the 101 Bridge Street property was the final parcel for which the borough requested property rights to complete planned intersection improvements; the agreement mirrors similar easements accepted from other adjacent property owners in prior months. The staff presenter said the borough will reimburse the owner—s attorney fees and may consider future management of the owner—s parking lot as part of the overall project agreement.
Council took the action as part of a broader project to improve traffic control and pedestrian access at the Bridge and Star Street intersection. No vote counts beyond the unanimous approval were entered into the meeting record, and staff did not present a timeline for construction at the meeting.
