Upper Darby Township Council Meeting July 15, 2026

The Upper Darby Township Council meeting on July 15, 2026, primarily focused on community and environmental issues, with significant public input regarding the proposed development of the Mosino tract, a forested area valued for its environmental and stormwater management benefits. Residents and council members discussed concerns about zoning changes, eminent domain related to a local fire station, and the impact of development on public safety, infrastructure, and the environment. The council approved ordinance 2026-09 to formalize the Environmental Advisory Committee, which will advise on environmental issues in the township. Additionally, ordinance 2026-10 was approved to remove two parking meters on Westchester Pike to facilitate parking lot improvements, including the introduction of digital pay parking. The council also reviewed the 5-year consolidated plan and annual action plan for HUD-funded programs, allocating approximately $2.3 million for housing rehabilitation, public facilities, economic development, and public services. No contract awards or specific procurement actions were detailed, but the meeting included discussions on budget allocations for community development and infrastructure projects.
