Delco Alert - June 1, 2020

Good evening, this is Mayor Barbarann Keffer with an important update.

As a reminder, Upper Darby township’s public safety curfew continues until further notice. The curfew is in effect from 8pm to 6am. Residents may only leave their homes to work at essential businesses, to seek medical attention or to seek assistance from law enforcement. We’re taking these steps out of an abundance of caution and concern for public safety and we appreciate your cooperation.

The Upper Darby Police Department in coordination with Delaware County Mobile Incident Response Team, County Emergency Services, and the Delaware County District Attorney’s office led a tremendous response to contain and control the looters who descended upon 69th Street yesterday afternoon and ransacked multiple businesses. We are grateful to the police departments from across Delaware, Montgomery, and Chester Counties who assisted on Sunday evening.

Starting at 5 this morning crews from the Parks and the Highway divisions cleaned the impacted areas of glass and debris and a group of local volunteers also assisted in these efforts. 69th Street from Ludlow to Walnut will remain closed to pedestrian and vehicular traffic until further notice.

Tomorrow is Primary Election Day - the curfew will remain in place but will not impact Election Board staff who are considered essential workers. Residents may travel to and from their polling places as necessary. Please be sure to visit www.votespa.com to see if your polling place has changed.

Lastly, tomorrow is also a Township Holiday and there will be no trash or recycling collections. Tuesday’s trash and recycling will be collected on Wednesday, June 3rd. Wednesday’s recycling in area 1 will be collected on Friday, June 5th.

This is Mayor Barbarann Keffer thanking the residents of Upper Darby Township for their cooperation.
