***The Pennsylvania Primary Election will take place on May 20, 2025***
Dear Yeadon Residents,
Please be advised that the 2025 Yeadon Borough Calendar mailed to all residents several weeks ago contains an error regarding the 2025 Primary Election date. The mailed calendar incorrectly states the date of the Primary Election as May 13; the election actually takes place one week later on Tuesday, May 20th.
We apologize for the oversight.
For up-to-date election data please follow the Delaware County Bureau of Elections calendar at delcopa.gov/vote/calendar.html
Please be advised that Working America, a community affiliate of the AFL-CIO, will be conducting a door-to-door organizing drive in the Borough starting on February 25, 2025, and continuing through at least March 2025.
Working America is a not-for-profit labor organization focused on advocacy for issues affecting working families, such as fair wages, healthcare, and job security. Their trained canvassers will be going door-to-door to educate residents and sign up new members. Canvassers can be identified by their official identification badges and red safety vests displaying the Working America name.
The canvassing will take place in the late afternoon and evening, between 3:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., as these are the hours when most residents are home. Courts have affirmed the right of canvassers to operate during these hours, regardless of local curfews (Ohio Citizen Action v. City of Englewood, City of Watseka v. Illinois Public Action Council, New Jersey Citizen Action v. Edison Township).
The Yeadon Police Department has been informed of Working America’s activities to ensure awareness and public safety.
Every first Monday of the month, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, State Senator Anthony H. Williams will host mobile office hours at the Yeadon Public Library (809 Longacre Blvd.,Yeadon, PA 19050)
In response to the recent snowstorm, the Yeadon Borough Public Works Department has been working tirelessly to ensure the safety and accessibility of our streets.
Over the course of the storm, five employees worked a combined total of 18 hours of overtime to clear snow and treat our roadways. We used over 49 tons of salt to help melt the snow and prevent ice buildup.
However, with the extreme temperatures we’ve experienced in the Northeast corridor, we are seeing an ongoing challenge. As the sun melts the snow during the day, the temperatures drop sharply at night, causing water to refreeze and creating icy conditions on the roads. This is a common issue in our region and is affecting not only Yeadon, but surrounding communities as well.
We want to assure you that we are continuing to monitor the situation closely. Our team remains ready to respond as necessary to keep our streets safe. Please drive cautiously and stay tuned for further updates.
Yeadon Borough Offices will be closed on Monday, January 20th, 2025, in observance of Martin Luther King Day.
“The universal appeal of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was his burning desire to unite people. That flame of unity continues to inspire Yeadon to be a place where all people can live, love, learn and grow.”
The Borough of Yeadon is seeking one committed individual to join our newly revived Planning Commission.
Candidates must be residents of Yeadon and possess some knowledge of the Borough. Interested applicants should send their resume and a letter of interest to info@yeadonborough.com by Wednesday, January 15, 2025.
