Not what you want to see. But: water mains
Must be M month
Rep Greg Vitali and Patch.com are letting people know of the upcoming 2013 Manoa and Marple Road closures (which will be ROYAL P’s-in-the-A’s) in Haverford Township. Manoa’s blockage starts Aug 26. Marple’s: Starts MONDAY Aug 19th. See the copy of Mr. Vitali’s email below for even more road disruptions from Aqua PA.
Sorry, Ashurst Townies
Let me just apologize in advance to the people who live on the very pretty street of Ashurst and it’s surrounding avenues. We’re very sorry, and we’ll try to drive slowly if we must go down your way.
Edgmont, So Close Yet So Far Away
Marple Road closing will be awful. Firstly, we can’t sneak in the back way to the dog park and the CREC. Secondly, we’ll have to do that weird jiggy thing with Bryn Mawr avenue to get to West Chester Pike in Broomall. Poop. (Traffic redirection brings out the Havertownies potty mouth).
More Swearing Opportunities
Hint: If anyone drives on West Chester Pike out of the city, take Cobbs Creek parkway or Haverford Rd outbound until the mess in Upper Darby is done.
From Greg Vitali:
