Mayor John Burke, Members of Council -- Emily Heinz, Kris Bauman, Gail Foley, Josh Phillips, Gina Tognini, Julia Woldorf

Hi All,

We have a number of newly scheduled special events to share with you on our website calendar including an Environmental Advisory Council (EAC) event titled Native Plants, Thriving Habitats: How You Can Help.

On behalf of the Walk Friendly Newtown Committee, we're requesting that you read these Pedestrian Safety Tips which you will see again in our Spring 2025 Borough Newsletter. Watch out for this semi-annual newsletter which will arrive in mailboxes within the next two weeks.

Our annual street sweeping will be held on May 21st and 22nd this year. We kindly request that you make a point to move your vehicles and assist us in maximizing our street cleaning efforts. Note that our street sweeping begins the day following our Primary Election on Tuesday, May 20th. Thank you in advance for your assistance and participation in both.

Borough Council will meet this month at our May 7th Work Session and May 21st Council Meeting. Please visit our website calendar to find the dates, times, locations, agendas, and remote attendance information for both Borough Council and Committees of Council meetings. Council Work Sessions are held at Borough Hall and via Zoom, while the Council Meetings take place at the Chancellor Center and are livestreamed on YouTube. Participation in public comment, however, does require in-person attendance.

Thank you to all who play a role in keeping our borough such a desirable place to be. We invite you to consider one of the few remaining 2025 Volunteer Opportunities that may align with your interests.

If you have friends and neighbors in the Borough who may also be interested in staying informed, please forward this email and encourage them to sign up for E-News Alerts too.

Warm regards,

Newtown Borough Mayor & Council
