note: If we need to dig more than 2 feet to add a structure, we need to get DEP involved since the site is capped.
Tentatively scheduled for 2025 at a cost of $55,000.

Some shade structures include high tops around the poles to conceal raised concrete that may be necessary to avoid digging two feet.]]> 2022-10-05 14:17:52 UTC https://padlet.com/nickallen16/ogreen/wish/2327678640 Come up with a plan to eliminate the algae growth around the water park drain. https://padlet.com/nickallen16/ogreen/wish/2327679745 2022-10-05 14:18:33 UTC https://padlet.com/nickallen16/ogreen/wish/2327679745 Removal of barbed wire fencing nickallen16 https://padlet.com/nickallen16/ogreen/wish/2327682093 Visually appealing plants in terraced retaining wall.

Do the lights change the operating hours of the park? The current hours are dawn to dusk.

Trimming back trees could contribute to more light during the day.

Park lighting exists at miner and matlack and in the alley.]]> 2022-10-05 14:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/nickallen16/ogreen/wish/2327684576 Addition to drain in this area of the park nickallen16 https://padlet.com/nickallen16/ogreen/wish/2327692628 Less pooling of water. 

The hope is to keep the rubber from cracking.

Bids already received for this work. Meeting with contractor underway.]]> 2022-10-05 14:25:33 UTC https://padlet.com/nickallen16/ogreen/wish/2327692628 Removal of vegetation from fence nickallen16 https://padlet.com/nickallen16/ogreen/wish/2327706372 We are unable to spray certain chemicals on the grounds. A clove oil solution could be used to knock back weeds in the area. (Organic does not mean non-toxic, training required)

Many of the weeds come from the neighboring property.]]> 2022-10-05 14:33:17 UTC https://padlet.com/nickallen16/ogreen/wish/2327706372 Tiered garden nickallen16 https://padlet.com/nickallen16/ogreen/wish/2327711540 Would the community like to contribute to gardening with the support of the borough, even if the plants are non-edible?

The plants must be drought resistant perennials due to the conditions of the soil. Cannot use shrubs or trees. These plants are also much easier to maintain.]]> 2022-10-05 14:35:42 UTC https://padlet.com/nickallen16/ogreen/wish/2327711540 Are we interested in lighting the basketball court to extend the hours past dusk? nickallen16 https://padlet.com/nickallen16/ogreen/wish/2327717484 We could have lights off at at nine, or some other agreed upon time.]]> 2022-10-05 14:38:50 UTC https://padlet.com/nickallen16/ogreen/wish/2327717484 Goose Creek Corridor Improvements (distant future) nickallen16 https://padlet.com/nickallen16/ogreen/wish/2327726732 Generate list of properties for the borough to acquire to provide more open space.
