Blakely to start 2024 sidewalk project Sept. 23; electric crews trimming trees, will host Public Power Week event
Summary
Blakely Borough officials said the 2024 sidewalk project will begin Sept. 23 and Blakely Electric crews are trimming trees around primary power lines; the borough will hold a Public Power Week demonstration Oct. 10.
Council member Kevin Swift told the Blakely Borough Council on Sept. 16 that the 2024 Sidewalk Project will begin Monday, Sept. 23.
Council member Kyle Burak reported that Blakely Electric crews have triaged and are trimming trees growing near primary power lines, with trimming on secondary lines to follow. Burak said the work is being carried out based on recommendations from the electric crew.
Burak also announced a Public Power Week event on Oct. 10 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the rear parking lot of the Valley Community Library where borough electricians will display the tools and equipment they use in day-to-day operations.
What to expect: the meeting record did not list specific street segments for sidewalk work or exact neighborhoods for immediate tree trimming; residents with concerns were advised to bring issues to the council or borough administration for follow-up. There was no formal vote on these items; the entries were informational and part of committee reports.
