Media Borough authorizes Ridge Road project to go out to bid
Summary
Council authorized the borough engineer to advertise and solicit bids for the grant‑funded Ridge Road project, which includes green infrastructure, sidewalks and traffic calming; authorization will allow construction to move forward when PennDOT approvals are received.
Council voted unanimously to authorize the borough engineer to advertise and solicit bids for the Ridge Road project so work can proceed promptly after PennDOT’s final review. The project is grant‑funded and includes green‑infrastructure elements, new sidewalks and traffic‑calming improvements at Ridge Road and Olive Street.
Borough Engineer Mass said the project is in final quality control and routing through PennDOT’s ECMS system; he characterized it as consistent with the borough’s stormwater‑management goals and said staff requested authorization so the work could begin quickly once approvals arrive. “That project is funded with a grant. It's consistent with our storm water management master plan and then has elements of traffic calming in it,” Mass said.
Why this matters: the project aims to address stormwater and pedestrian safety in the Ridge Road corridor and, if bids proceed on schedule, could be constructed later this year.
