Red Lion to begin 2026 road and ADA improvements; Charles Street bridge receives LSA grant
Summary
Notice to proceed was signed for the borough's 2026 road improvements (work began March 23, completion expected Aug. 20, 2026) including ADA sidewalk work; the Charles Street bridge project received an LSA Class 4 grant for $72,234 with a secondary grant covering the $14,651 match.
Red Lion Borough staff reported that notice to proceed for the 2026 road-improvement contract was signed and work began March 23, with a planned completion date of August 20, 2026. The project includes sidewalk and ADA stormwater work at Country Club Road and South Franklin Street; adjacent property owners will be notified by mail, and work at that intersection is planned to start after the school year ends to limit student-transportation impact.
Council also noted that the Charles Street bridge improvement was approved for an LSA Class 4 grant in the amount of $72,234. Finance staff confirmed that a second grant from Open Space Improvements (Marcellus Shale) for $14,651 will cover the required match, so no borough funds are needed for the match.
Other capital items discussed included a Vulcan Lane building-painting quote of $21,670 that exceeds the $20,000 budgeted amount; council must decide whether to increase the appropriation or rebid the work.
