Moorestown Council Takes Step Toward Updating Township ADA

MOORESTOWN, NJ - Moorestown Council took the first step to update the township's Americans With Disabilities Act Transition Plan last week.

Moorestown Council unanimously approved a proposed bond ordinance on introduction to set aside $95,000, including the borrowing of $90,250 in bonds or notes, to be used for the update of the township's Americans With Disabilities Act Transition Plan at its meeting on April 8 at town hall.

Having the plan in place and updating it is a condition for certain federal grants, including the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant for the Lenola Project, according to the agenda packet posted on the township's website.

Moorestown received a $971,500 TAP grant from the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) to cover most of the costs for a majority of the costs for the Lenola Town Center Improvement Plan.

The project focuses on revitalizing a quarter mile of the Lenola Town Center Camden Avenue corridor. The public hearing and final vote will take place at the April 29 meeting.
Council also awarded a pair of contracts as part of its consent agenda.

Council awarded a $393,697.75 contract to Black Rock Enterprises for the 2017 Road Reconstruction Program, which is made up predominantly of Walnut Road upgrades.

This includes repaving and stormwater mitigation. Black Rock Enterprises submitted the lowest of the three bids submitted for this project, officials said.

Council also awarded a $152,000 contract to Calgon Carbon Corporation for the purchase, delivery and installation of Granular Activated Carbon Filters for the North Church Street Water Treatment Plant. They are part of the temporary treatment system to treat TCE and TCP so the wells can remain in service.
