Mayor’s Message
December 1, 2021  

Good evening, I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. 

I am pleased to announce that Upper Darby has received a $499,320 grant from the state’s Multimodal Transportation Fund to assist with the Cardington-Newtown Trail project. This trail is a multi-use recreational path that connects Marshall Road and Pembroke Avenue. It includes a spur at Ruskin Lane that connects to Long Lane. 

Next Wednesday, December 8, we will hold a ribbon cutting at 5 p.m. at municipal parking lot #1, across the street from this building, to celebrate its completion. Thank you to everyone who has worked hard over the past several months on this project, which is one of many reinvestments my administration is making in Upper Darby. We also appreciate the cooperation and patience of the residents and businesses in the area, and everyone is welcome to attend the event.  

With the rise of new COVID-19 variants, getting vaccinated is crucially important to protect yourself and those around you. All children age 5 years and older are eligible to be vaccinated, and booster shots are available for everyone age 18 years and older who have been fully vaccinated. To find a free vaccine location, please call 484-276-2100 or visit www.delcopa.gov/vax. For resources about vaccine hesitancy, please visit www.factsoverfiction.info. 

Thank you and have a good evening.
