The Borough is pleased to announce the next steps toward redevelopment plans in the triangle area located between Chestnut and Park Aves. These improvements are possible through funding awarded to Merchantville through a Transportation Alternatives Grant. The goal of the Transportation Alternatives Program is to provide federal funds for community-based “non-traditional” projects designed to strengthen the cultural, aesthetic, and environmental aspects of the nation’s intermodal system. The renderings, presented by CME Engineering Associates at the February 13th Borough Council meeting, illustrate the incredible change planned for the area. Project goals include p roviding pedestrian facilities downtown to promote foot traffic, improving pedestrian facilities and roadway crossings and, c reating a comfortable downtown area with seating, lighting, and landscaping.

The Borough is excited to host The Merchantville Community Round Up, on Wednesday evening, March 22nd, at the Community Center from 6:00-8:00 p.m. The goal of this event is to connect Merchantville organizations with more members of the community. Many residents are eager to be involved but unsure of the many groups available to join and/or volunteer with. The event is structured like a “job fair” so, each group will have a table where they can display what they wish, have sign-up sheets and information to share about what their organization does and its mission in our community. We will offer crafts for the kids and have refreshments for all. We hope that you are able to take part in this year’s Merchantville Community Round Up and that it is a successful way to recruit new members and volunteers to your organization!
