Sanitary Sewer System Improvements

Bristol Township is continuing our ongoing sanitary sewer infrastructure improvements. For the last year we have contracted with Mr. Rehab for televising of the Croydon Wastewater Treatment Plant service area. After the televising, we then contract with slip lining of the necessary sewer lines to reduce the inflow and infiltration to our sewer plant. And when necessary bid out pipe replacement as well. A large project of slip lining the sanitary sewer mains will begin this week. You probably received a flyer from Mr. Rehab advising of the project. This is the contractor doing work for Bristol Township. The slip lining is accessible from sanitary sewer manholes so there will be no road disturbances and minimal interference on your daily routine at home.

 

Sanitary Sewer Slip Lining Continues on the following streets the week of 9/6-9/9: Park Ave, Western Ave, Leedom AveWestwood Ave and Old Rodgers Road with Flaggers (weather permitting). Any questions or concerns, please reach out to the Township Manager's office at 267-812-2914 or relton@bristoltownship.org. We will continue to update the street listing as is provided to us by the contractor.

Bristol ECG - River Road Trail

Bristol Township is working with regional partners to improve pedestrian safety, enhance community health, and connect people to nature. The first segment of the proposed River Road Trail will run from Cedar Avenue to Route 413 at the intersection with Wawa. The trail is planned for the south side of River Road and will be located within the roadway as much as possible. A study is currently underway to determine the trail layout. We are asking your assistance and want your opinion on YOUR trail. Please complete this short survey on the proposed River Road Trail: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/XL23CCD

 

For more information, visit www.bristoltownship.org, call 215-345-8966, or email RiverRoadTrail@gmail.com. Please also stay tuned for upcoming public meetings and events to learn more about the trail and to share your comments and ideas. 

 

Bristol Township – with the help of the Heritage Conservancy, the Pennsylvania Environmental Council, the East Coast Greenway Alliance, and consultant Michael Baker International – is working to develop a safe, family-friendly public trail for walking, biking, and rolling along River Road from Cedar Avenue to just past the Wawa near Old Route 13. Click here for a link to view the most recent presentation to Bristol Township Council at their June 16^th meeting and click here for a pdf of the presentation. Additional links include:

• East Coast Greenway Impact
• Shan & Joshuaine’s long Distance run/ride of the entire ECG (Shan & Josh ran/rode through Bristol along what will become the River Road Trail on June 9^th)

The River Road Trail is first and foremost YOUR trail. There is an engineering and design study going on right now that will give you, your friends, and your family plenty of opportunities to help turn the trail into exactly what you’d like it to be. Stay tuned for a public survey, an opportunity to Walk the Trail Before it’s There, public meetings at local community centers, and the River Road Trail table at upcoming community events. What’s even cooler: the River Road Trail will eventually connect into the 165-mile D&L Canal Towpath Trail in Bristol Borough – which you can ride up to Easton and beyond to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre – and will be a part of the ~3,000 mile East Coast Greenway, which goes all the way from Florida to Maine! Don’t miss your chance to shape Bristol Township’s very own River Road Trail!
