Township Building HVAC Upgrade Continues with Replacement of 10 Heat Pumps
Resolution 2026-88 was approved, authorizing the replacement of 10 water source heat pumps at the township building for $146,200, funded from the 2024 Facilities Improvement General Obligation Bond [cite: 439-440, 464]. This is part of a systematic replacement of approximately 50 units in the building, with 37 already replaced [cite: 452-454]. The work will be performed by JJ White [cite: 458]. This resolution passed unanimously [cite: 469-471].
Emerson Group Receives Land Development Waiver for Property Renovations
The Board of Commissioners considered and approved a motion to approve the request of the Emerson Group for a waiver of land development for their property at 420 East Lancaster Avenue [cite: 156-157]. The applicant, represented by Cameron Wolfson, stated that the proposed improvements involve facade renovations and structural repairs, not an increase in site improvements, impervious coverage, building footprint, employees, occupancy, traffic, parking, or utility use [cite: 193-207]. The design was previously reviewed and approved by the design review board [cite: 196]. The board voted 5-0 to approve the waiver [cite: 213-216].
Radnor Township Moves Forward with Acquisition of Property for Magisterial District Court
The Board of Commissioners introduced Ordinance 2026-19, approving the acquisition and purchase of approximately 0.3887 acres at 405 West Wayne Avenue, which includes a 16,933 square foot commercial structure [cite: 334-335]. The purpose of this acquisition is to establish offices for the Delaware County Magisterial District Court in Radnor Township [cite: 334]. Commissioner Larkin voiced strong support, emphasizing the necessity of having a local magisterial district court and highlighting that this site, while not ideal, is the only available option after a three-year search [cite: 410-413, 417-418]. The property's existing parking is sufficient, and it backs onto the Radnor Trail Park, offering overflow parking [cite: 384-386]. The acquisition aims to rectify the current situation where the Radnor district court is located in Newtown Square, causing logistical and time inefficiencies for township police and residents [cite: 366-374]. The purchase is structured as a 10-year payback for the township, covering conversion costs and providing a steady income stream [cite: 401-407].
Carroll Engineering Commissioned for Upstream Bridge Rehabilitation at Valley Park
Resolution 2026-85 was approved, authorizing Carroll Engineering to perform design, permitting, and bidding documents for the rehabilitation of the upstream bridge at Eighth and Valley Park for $82,500 [cite: 474-475]. This bridge requires rehabilitation due to its deteriorating condition, including missing blocks and severe cracking, which has led to multiple weight limit reductions and closure [cite: 487-489, 495]. The new bridge is intended to match the downstream bridge, which was also designed by Carroll Engineering [cite: 481-484, 492]. Construction is not expected to begin until Q2 of 2027, ensuring no conflict with the September Villanova Day of Service cleanup [cite: 501, 506]. The resolution passed unanimously [cite: 513-515].
Emergency Traffic Signal Replacement at Glenbrook and County Line Approved
Resolution 2026-87 was approved, authorizing payment of $77,185.93 to Charles Higgins and Sons for emergency traffic signal replacement at Glenbrook and County Line [cite: 516-517]. The replacement was necessitated by an automobile accident on January 17th, 2026, which damaged the original signal [cite: 525]. Higgins and Sons completed the work, installing temporary and then permanent poles [cite: 526-527]. The cost will be reimbursed through an auto insurance claim [cite: 516, 528]. The resolution passed unanimously [cite: 532-534].
