The bridge, which crosses Toby Creek, was dam- aged during the flood of June 2006. According to borough manag- er Tracey Michael Carr, FEMA and PEMA awarded $302,905 for the project. But in order to build and comply with PennDOT spec- ifications, $414,418 would be needed. Goeringer, whose dental prac- tice is located near the bridge, provided council with 120 signa- tures from people who want the bridge to be rebuilt.

The counselors are Patrick Murray, Danielle Krawetz, Jillian O’Connell, Erin Delaney and Co- ry Patton.
