The Yeadon Borough Council Caucus Meeting held on May 8, 2025, focused on several key initiatives, including the Cobbs Creek project and a potential repurposing of a Delco Greenway grant for recreational facilities.

One of the primary discussions centered around the need for a resolution to authorize the borough as a signer for the Cobbs Creek project documents. This step is essential for moving forward with the project, which aims to enhance local infrastructure.

Additionally, the council addressed a recently awarded Delco Greenway grant of $120,000 designated for a basketball court at Community Park. However, there was significant debate regarding the suitability of this project. Some council members expressed concerns about the basketball court's location and suggested repurposing the grant funds to create a multi-use court that would include tennis and pickleball facilities instead. This proposal aims to better meet community needs, as pickleball has gained popularity.

The council discussed the feasibility of this change, noting that the budget could accommodate the necessary modifications, including a higher fence for the tennis court. While no formal vote was taken during the meeting, there was a consensus among council members in favor of approaching the granting agency to seek approval for the repurposing of the grant.

In conclusion, the meeting highlighted the council's commitment to improving recreational spaces in Yeadon while ensuring that community input is valued in decision-making processes. The next steps will involve formalizing the resolution for the Cobbs Creek project and seeking approval for the grant modification.
