Storm knocks down poles; borough inventories streetlights and plans repairs
Summary
Following the storm, borough staff reported at least one downed pole and multiple streetlight issues; ownership (PECO/Pico/borough) will determine repair responsibility and staff are coordinating repairs and vendor scheduling.
Staff presented a streetlight inventory and described storm damage that included at least one pole that fell and a number of fixtures requiring service. Some poles are owned by third parties and will require coordination with those owners for replacement; staff said they have been documenting damage and coordinating immediate repairs.
"After the storm, you know, we went around..." a staff member said while describing the quick assessment and that crews and vendors have been engaged. The committee discussed specific locations and requested follow‑up for lights near the 300 block and the train-station area. Staff said estimated storm-related costs and vendor charges were discussed but that final invoices and third‑party responsibilities remain to be reconciled.
