Council hears progress reports on Plum Street and Philip Green projects
Summary
Borough engineer Kevin Matson reported contractors resumed Plum Street work and that Philip Green improvements have broken ground; council praised the design, tree protections and encouraged residents to support affected businesses.
Kevin Matson, the borough engineer, told council that contractors have returned to Plum Street and that work has been moving forward "very positively over the last couple days," noting major field milestones and plan adjustments that have resolved earlier challenges.
Matson also reported the contractor for the Philip Green improvements broke ground after council approved the contract at the Sept. 19 meeting; sidewalks are already in and exposed sycamores are being protected by arborist guidance. Council members said neighbors have provided positive feedback and encouraged residents to patronize businesses still open during construction (named in the record: Cafe Isla, Jao Taco, Sarva Yoga).
Matson said the Plum Street project is progressing toward substantial completion by the end of November but cautioned that some final elements may extend into spring. Council urged patience for affected businesses and thanked project teams.
