What an awesome opportunity to work with such a dedicated group of people, who, like myself not only care about beautifying Yardley Borough but also being part of a greater call to clean up and protect our environment for future generations. Thank you Spearhead Project Earth for giving me this opportunity to serve.

Spearhead Project Earth (SPE) proudly announces the appointment of Councilman David Appelbaum as our official Yardley Council Liaison.

“Dave has shown unwavering support for SPE's nonprofit mission since its inception and I could not imagine a better person for this role.” - Robert Catalano, Founder & President of SPE.

Since its establishment, SPE has successfully removed over 10,000 pounds of waste, primarily single-use plastics, from the shorelines of the Delaware River. Recently, with Dave's invaluable guidance and support, we have completed the development of a scenic site in Yardley Borough, with ongoing maintenance efforts still underway.

With Dave leading our initiatives in Yardley, residents and visitors alike can anticipate numerous forthcoming environmentally conscious projects facilitated through the collaboration between Yardley and SPE.

There's more to learn and taste at "The Rise of Cramer's Bakery" program on Sunday, June 9 at 2 p.m. at the Old Library by Lake Afton.
Please let us know whether you're attending, so that Tom Cramer knows how many goodies to bring.

Shown is one of the things that Cramer's has been making for a long time - Philadelphia butter cake.

Fortunately, I know of no post-earthquake damage or personal injury. And as much as yesterday’s seismic incident was unexpected, there are some history and physical features for the adventurous to observe just a mile or so from Yardley Borough. See below.

Have you ever heard of the Yardley Fault?

You can see this striking feature on SEPTA's West Trenton line, nearly a mile west of the Yardley Station. This interesting fact was found by Dr. Helen Heinz from the LMT Historical Commission.

Yardley Borough Residents WE NEED YOU!

The following Boards and Commissions are in need of members. Here is a brief summery of what each board does. Without volunteers like you our town would not be the awesome town it is!

Environmental Advisory Commission (EAC)

Established to protect the natural resources within the Borough and create community awareness. EAC members work together to build an environmentally sustainable community by championing and promoting natural resource conservation, consideration of environmental impacts in decision-making, education and awareness of environmental issues in Yardley Borough.

The Commission meets as needed. Its members serve a three-year term. 3 member residents required.

Parks and Recreation Board

Assesses parks, open space, and recreational needs of Borough residents and may also review development plans and provide recommendations to Borough Council whether open space should be dedicated to the Borough or if the developer should pay the Borough a "Fee-In-Lieu" of open space.

The Board meets on the second Tuesday of each month, 7:00 PM, in the Recreation Room in the rear of Borough Hall as needed. Its members serve a three-year term.

Sewer Authority

The Yardley Borough Sewer Authority was formed in 1962, in compliance with the Municipality Authorities Act of 1945 and adopted by the Borough Council of Yardley Borough, as Ordinance No. 159. The Authority owns and operates a wastewater collection system serving 898 residential and commercial Yardley Borough customers. The system includes 9.37 miles of sewer mains in the Borough and one pumping station. Wastewater from Yardley is treated at the wastewater treatment plant owned by the Municipal Authority of the Borough of Morrisville.

Meetings are held at 7:00pm on the second Wednesday of most months in Council Chambers, in Borough Hall. The Municipalities Authorities Act provides that terms begin & expire on the first Monday of the year. Its members serve a five-year term.

Human Relations Commission

The Yardley Borough Human Relations Commission was established by the Council Members of Yardley Borough on March 6, 2018, by the enactment of the Yardley Borough Anti-Discrimination Ordinance, in order to ensure that all persons, regardless of actual or perceived race, color, gender, religion, ancestry, genetic information, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, familial status, marital status, age, mental or physical disability, use of guide or support animals and/or mechanical aids enjoy the full benefits of citizenship and are afforded equal opportunities for employment, housing and the use of public accommodations, and to have equal access to post-secondary educational institutions.

Does anyone know what kind of fly this is? It’s relatively docile, but it’s worse than my six cats and dog: it won’t leave me alone and I’m only half way through typing the next great American novel. If you’re missing this cute guy, stop over and get him.
