AROUND the BIG TOWN

MARK THE DATE





Nether Providence Township Family Day is scheduled for Saturday, September  15th, 2012
from 12noon until 4:00pm at the Strath Haven Middle School upper parking lot. 
More information to follow!  


On June 16, 2012 at the Garden City Firehouse, in conjunction with the Delaware County Kennel Club, Nether
Providence Township hosted a Dog Micro-Chipping Clinic. What a huge success!! 104 dogs were micro-chipped
making it easier to reunited the dog with it’s owner is case the dog goes missing. Big thanks to the kennel club for
allowing Nether Providence Twp to host this event.


Many complaints have been fielded regarding the significant backup during rush hours from the new traffic signal
at Providence Rd and Bullens Lane, and have been addressed with PennDot. There is worry that this light will
remain in place after the bridge construction on MacDade Blvd is completed. THE TOWNSHIP DOES NOT
SUPPORT ANY TRAFFIC LIGHTS AT THIS INTERSECTION ONCE BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION IS
COMPLETED. Bridge construction on MacDade Blvd is scheduled to be completed sometime in November,
2012, HOPEFULLY!!!


Ordinace No. 764, Regulation for the planting, growing or cultivating of BAMBOO has been enacted. If you

Ordinace No. 763, for Section §243-37 (Schedule V: Stop Intersections) has been passed enacting the
establishment and removal of stop signs after an extensive (and costly) analysis of all the areas submitted by the

existing ordinaces that directs certain parameters to be met.
