Northwood Civic Association meeting

Tom Waring reports this week in the Northeast Times on the Northwood Civic Association meeting held on April 15th.  You can read the entire article here.

I was not aware until I read the article of the meeting tomorrow night, April 24th, at Frankford High School.  The subject being:

“The state Department of Transportation will hold a public meeting on Thursday, April 24, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Frankford High School.
PennDOT will provide information and ask for comment on projects to improve Interstate 95 and the Bridge Street and the Betsy Ross Bridge/Aramingo Avenue interchanges.”

They may discuss the long awaited connection of I-95 to Torresdale Avenue.  It’s only been on the drawing board since the 1960s.  We’ll see.
