This team, which includes members from RK&K and DQE Communications, was at Columbia River Park — and later in the day, at the Wrightsville end of the Veterans Memorial Bridge.

According to Google: “RK&K (Rummel, Klepper & Kahl, LLP) is the lead engineering consultant for the massive $234 million rehabilitation of the historic Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge.”

Also from Google: “The connection between DQE Communications and the Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge relates to the expansion of regional fiber-optic infrastructure. DQE Communications, a provider of fiber-optic internet and data network services, has been actively extending its network through York and Lancaster counties, where the bridge serves as a critical link.”

Slow but sure progress at the Linden Street Build

The finished project . . .

Broken light fixtures at the Locust Street bus stop. The borough is looking at other options for lights.

Time to grind that hidden stump under the sign, but first you have to move the sign.

Signs that spring has indeed sprung . . .

More progress at 750 South 9th Street. The plan is to construct nine single-family attached dwelling units on the 0.55-acre lot, which Valley View Capital LLC bought from the borough for $70,000 in 2023. It’s located at the intersection of South 9th Street and Avenue X.
