Palmyra council approves application for Delaware River trail planning grant
Summary
Council approved Resolution 2025-126 to apply for a TCDI planning grant to study trails along the Delaware River from 36th Street in Pennsauken into Palmyra; Council member Jessica O’Connor recused from the vote.
Palmyra’s council on April 7 voted to apply for a Transportation Community Development Initiative (TCDI) planning grant to study creating trails along the Delaware River from 36th Street in Pennsauken into Palmyra.
President Timothy Howard moved approval of Resolution 2025-126 and the motion passed on roll call. The vote was recorded as yes from John Liebe, Sean O’Connell and President Howard; Council member Jessica O’Connor recused herself from the vote. Mayor Gina Ragomo Tait opened the discussion and read the resolution into the record.
Council members asked questions about the grant timeline and potential partners; Mr. Gural said the borough will pursue the planning study if the grant application is approved. The resolution authorizes the borough to apply for the TCDI grant; no budget appropriation or final award was recorded in the minutes.
Why it matters A planning study funded through TCDI could identify route options, safety improvements and intermunicipal coordination needed to connect trails along the Delaware River into Palmyra and Pennsauken, and would inform later design and funding steps.
What’s next Staff will submit the TCDI application and notify Council if the grant is awarded; council will consider any required matching funds or implementation steps if the study is approved.
