Closed 3rd St. Bridge cost Media Taxpayers over $240,000 during last 11 years.

It was disclosed at this week's Boro. Council workshop meeting that the 3rd. St bridge which has been closed for over 11 years, has cost the Media residents over $240,000.  Of that amount, over $100,000 was for engineering fees.....but what exactly was engineered? Chain link fencing and concrete barriers?  More concerning is what exactly has council been doing about this for the last 11 years?!?!?!

I would request immediately, that the Media Borough Engineer provide a full, itemized financial report of accumulated costs for this bridge.


It was also mentioned that multiple lawsuits have been filed against the borough regarding the ownership of the bridge. As concerning as this matter is, at least it's now being discussed and hopefully sorted out by the newly re-organized council.

CLOSED FOR OVER 11 YEARS AT A COST OF $240,000!!!
