Neighbors viewing renderings of the streetwork
Last night, neighbors from the 1700 to the 2300 blocks of Frankford Avenue gathered at Circle of Hope for an important community meeting. They were briefed on the details of a million dollar PennDOT project, years in the making, that was about to break ground. The location: their own doorsteps.
After years of community planning phases and approval letters being sent between NKCDC, PennDOT and the City of Philadelphia, street improvement work on Frankford Avenue was finally put out to bid several months ago. A contractor, L.C. Costa Construction Inc, of Warminster, PA was the low bidder with a 1.15 million dollar price tag for the half-mile zone’s street work. Pending a final commencement order from PennDOT, contractors could begin work as early as the first half of November, and no later than early December.
