Newtown Borough Municipal Parking Lot Reopens For Weekend

The Newtown Borough Municipal Parking Lot reopened late Friday afternoon.

Crews from Bray Brothers of Fallsington finished milling and paving the parking lot late this week and began re-striping newly paved parking spaces on Friday. While there are some spaces that still need to be marked, the lot was opened as of 4:30 p.m. Friday and cars were beginning to fill it up.

The $200,000 borough project to redo the parking lot that sits between Washington and Centre avenues began in February and originally had a completion deadline of mid-March.

At the borough council meeting earlier this week, two change orders totaling nearly $9,000 were approved to complete concrete work and an order of an extra 20 tons of fill to smooth out depressions in the lot.
