Summit School On Plush Mill Road

Last week it was announced that the Wallingford Swarthmore school District will once again put the former Summit Elementary School on Plush Mill Road in Wallingford on the market. The District has tried without success in the past to sell the Summit property without success and has been leasing the facility since 2010 to the Stage One organization, also known as the Performing Arts Complex of Delaware County.

Superintendent Richard Noonan made the following remarks in a prepared statement. “In bringing the property to market, the primary goal of the school district is to translate the property into a financial asset that can assist in funding facilities projects and easing the debt service property tax burden on residents.”

Access Road Being Built Off Rodgers Lane In Wallingford

The project to replace the 120 year old SEPTA regional rail bridge spanning Crum Creek in Nether Providence Township has started with the construction of an access road off Rodgers Lane. The current steel viaduct which connects the Nether Providence and Swarthmore legs of the Media-Elwyn line was built in built in 1895 and has been deemed to be beyond it’s useful life.

The $89.9 million replacement project’s 1st phase which will last until Spring 2016 involves the building of temporary access roads and new concrete footings, piers and abutments for the span. Rail service across the bridge will not be interrupted during this period.

During stage 2 of work, in the summer of 2016, new girders, the deck and catenary towers and new tracks will be installed. No service will be available on that section of the line for a 10-week period, with bus service provided between Nether Providence and Swarthmore instead.

The third and final stage, from the fall of 2016 through the spring of 2017, will entail the removal of the existing bridge and towers, as well as access roads, followed by site restoration and landscaping.
