Easter Egg Hunt, MOVED TO RAIN DATE SUNDAY MARCH 24

UPDATE: Our Easter Egg Hunt is being moved to the rain date of Sunday, March 24. This is due to wet weather predicted for Friday into Saturday, with slippery and muddy field conditions expected. Besides the date change, all other details of the event are the same, including start time, Photos with the Easter Bunny, and the VFD coffee fundraiser.

Participating kids will be grouped into three age ranges, as follows: Toddlers (1-2) – Tennis/Pickleball Court* Little Kids (3-6) – Field A** Big Kids (7+) – Field B**

*The eggs for the Toddler hunt will be EMPTY due to age appropriateness of candy/toys in filled eggs. Soft prizes will be available for Toddler participants following the hunt.

**The Little Kids/Big Kids hunts will take place side by side on the field, with a divider in the middle. This is to allow for a more fair opportunity for all ages to collect eggs.

Soup with St. Nick

Join them on Wednesday, December 6 from 6-8PM in the Gathering Place around the back of the church. All are welcome!

Fall Leaf Collection

Annual leaf collection starts Monday October 30, 2023. Residents must not place leaves at the curb until this time. Leaves left at the curb for an extended period of time are very difficult to vacuum and slow down the collection process since they soak up water and become compacted from vehicle traffic. Help our public works department by keeping your leaves in your yard until the day before they're scheduled for collection. Doing so ensures that everyone's leaves are collected in a timely manner. Thursday is a catch up day. Public works uses this day to go back over any streets needing extra cleaning or that they couldn’t complete earlier in the week.

Property owners that routinely place piles of leaves in the street days before their scheduled collection day may be subject to enforcement action for creating an unsafe condition. Collection delays and cancellations will be posted on the borough marquis, phone system and our Facebook page and website.

Edgewood Borough Council would like resident input on prioritizing investment in Koenig Field.  Please click the link below to take the survey.  Responses must be received by Friday September 3, 2021.

Regional Climate Survey

From CONNECT: What can our region do about climate change and the vulnerabilities it creates in our communities? Please tell us in CONNECT’s Regional Climate Survey.  It will only take about 5 minutes and will help our local governments plan for the future.

Storm Cleanup

Cleanup continues following the severe storms that impacted Edgewood Borough on Wednesday July 9, 2021. The Department of Public Works has removed a majority of the downed borough owned street trees and limbs from private property and roadways. Privately owned trees are the responsibility of the property owner to clean up and remove. Residents can easily discern between a private tree and a street tree based on its location relative to the street curb. Any tree between the curb and sidewalk is a borough owned street tree. Trees behind the sidewalk, or behind the curb on streets without sidewalks, are the responsibility of the property owner.

Please do not set piles of limbs from private trees along the sidewalk or roadside unless they are bundled for collection by Republic Services. Only limbs and branches under 4 inches in diameter, cut into 36 inch lengths, and weighing less than 40 lbs will be collected by Republic Services. Smaller branches and twigs should be tied into bundles meeting the same requirements.

Problems with your electrical service should be directed to Duquesne Light by calling 412-393-7000.

In general, please exercise caution when walking under all trees over the next few days as limbs may continue to fall from previously unidentified breaks or that are shaken loose by the wind. Downed limbs and wires should be reported to the borough by calling 911. This ensures the necessary resources are dispatched.

Lastly, despite news reports indicating so, borough officials did not declare a state of emergency. This information was falsely tweeted by Allegheny County communications staff and then repeated by local media outlets.

Youth Soccer is open to girls and boys ages 4-14. Participants should be 4 as of September 1. You do not need to be an Edgewood resident to play. Registration begins July 15 and ends August 15.

2021 Spring Plant Sale Pre-Order

We are very excited to open up the 2021 Spring Edible Plant Sale, now through Tuesday, January 26th, 2021!

Pittsburgh area artist and organic gardener, Karen Sandorf, will be lovingly growing each plant from seed, just in time for the growing season. We are accepting pre-orders this week only, to ensure an accurate seed and supply order for our gardener.

There have been a few amendments to the plants list (from last year), so please look that over again before ordering. You'll find links to the updated plant list, and to the order form, at the bottom.

Again, prices per pot are $3.50, and $3/$10. For the 2 new container tomatoes Super Sweet 100 Cherry and for hot peppers, a flat rate of $4 per plant.

How it works:

Peruse the plant list here

When you have decided which plants you wish to reserve, place your order here

All orders must be placed by the end of the week to receive plants in the spring. Payment can be made via Paypal through her Square site, karen-sandorf-gallery-shop.square.site, and you will be billed once all orders are in.

2021 Plant Sale - SURVEY

Some of you may remember our sale of edible garden plants last spring. We are happy to announce that we will be offering that again this year! Once more we are teaming up with the talents of Pittsburgh area artist and organic gardener Karen Sandorf (A Gardener’s Artworks, karen-sandorf-gallery-shop.square.site). We’re starting with a brief survey to allow some initial planning in seed purchases (you can still order plants if you don’t participate in the survey). Please note the changes to this year’s sale. In order to have an accurate number of plants, orders will need to be placed BEFORE she places her final seed order. This will leave a quick turn-around time between the available survey and the order due date. Surveys are due by this Saturday, January 16th. Order forms will be available shortly after that, and orders will be due with payment by Tuesday, January 26th, 2021. Plant pick up will be arranged at Koenig Field in mid-May. Dates are listed in the survey. More details about pick-up will follow to everyone who places an order. You can also check the available plant list, to start thinking about what you’d like to order. This list is not finalized, and will be updated following the results of the survey. Thank you for participating!

Fall Youth Soccer

While we remain in the Green Phase, we will be proceeding with our Fall Soccer season, with some modifications. We are planning to have regular weekly practices and games, with limited team sizes and fewer teams, to allow time between practices and games, and limit the number of people on the field. We are always welcoming dedicated volunteers to help coach, and this year is no exception! We are hoping to have more coaches/parent volunteers to help make sure kids stay distanced as much as possible, and to help with hygiene and sanitizing of equipment. Clearances are required for anyone assisting with the kids. The success of our league depends on our volunteers!

This recreational league is open to boys and girls ages 4-14. We are planning to start the week of August 24th, and run a 6 week season. Dates are subject to change based on circumstances. The cost for this sport is $65. Registration is open NOW until Friday, August 14th. This is a short registration period, so if you are interested in participating, please sign up ASAP.

Please register here: https://go.teamsnap.com/forms/237541

Participants should have cleats, and it is strongly recommended to bring a practice ball. T-shirts and socks will be provided. Spectators should bring their own chairs/blankets to sit on, with at least 6 feet between households. Two spectators may attend per child at both practices and games. Vulnerable populations should stay home. Participants and spectators should use proper hygiene, including hand-washing and use of hand sanitizer. Game balls will be disinfected between games, with additional disinfecting during games as needed. Players do not huddle together; no hand slaps. Sportsmanship continues in a touchless manner. Anyone testing positive for Covid 19, or showing signs of illness, should stay home.

Edgewood Borough will continue to follow all public health directives from Allegheny County and the Governor's office. We are going to plan our summer recreation offerings as we are reasonably able to do so. Please understand that game-play depends entirely on the guidance offered by the aforementioned agencies. The borough will explore modifying or refunding all or part of the registration fees if an activity's season needs to be cancelled or significantly reduced due to the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic. We will continue to provide any necessary updates leading up to, and throughout the season.

Edgewood Soccer Survey 2020

For anyone who has participated in, or would consider participating in our Soccer League, please fill out Edgewood Soccer Survey, as soon as possible.

This will help us so to best serve you with our recreational opportunities at this time.

Starter Plant Sale - SOLD OUT

Due to the overwhelming response, no new orders can be accepted today. Karen is working to complete the orders that have already been received. Thank you!

With thanks to Edgewood Borough Council, I am Karen Sandorf, a small-scale local grower. Through the Borough, I am offering garden starter plants that you can order from the attached PDF list, and using my attached fill-able PDF form. There will be a contact-less pickup for all pre-paid plant orders at the tennis courts at Koenig Field this Saturday, May 16, from 9am to 11am.

In addition to my Master Gardener credentials, I've been growing from seed in this way every late-winter/spring for over 20 years. I specialize in heirlooms, especially tomatoes, and short season veggies, including container-friendly veggies. And the list of descriptions show that I offer more than heirloom varieties. Many may not be found elsewhere in the area. The plants have been grown in a rich, organic potting mix in approximately 3-inch pots. No chemicals are used. Multiple herb plants are in each pot.

To place an order, see the two attachments to this message:

• Peruse and choose from the list of plant descriptions given by the seed companies, all of which I've started from seed for you.
• Download the fill-able PDF order form and open it in Acrobat Reader. E-mail it back to me after typing your info at top, and the number of each plant that you want beside each plant name, then renaming, using your own name, and saving the PDF. Instructions on how to do this and prepayment info are given at the top of the PDF form. Please return your order form to ks4biz@comcast.net at your earliest convenience, no later than Thursday evening May 14. Quantities are limited.
• All plants are $3.50/ pot and 3 / $10. Consider combining an order with a friend if you only want a pot or two. And feel free to forward this message to fellow gardeners near you!
• You'll be billed online from my squareup.com account, with payment due upon receipt of the invoice. This is a very safe and easy way to pay. Please make your online payment no later than 9 a.m. Friday morning, May 15, for Saturday morning's contact-less pickup.
• Your order will be boxed, labeled with your name and waiting for you at the tennis court. I'll be there during the pickup time between 9 and 11 a.m.

Luminary Lighting - A message from the Edgewood Foundation:

Neighbors - first and foremost we hope that you are all healthy and well!
Friday, April 24th, the Edgewood Foundation will be lighting up Maple Avenue with luminaries to celebrate the tireless dedication of those on the frontline of this pandemic. At 8pm, please join us by turning on your lights and playing music from your homes. If you'd like to put out your own luminaries please do so! 
 
We need volunteers! We would appreciate help with any of the following:

• Luminary placement
• Luminary lighting.
• Removing bags from sidewalk the following morning (4/25).

Please message the Foundation (through Facebook, @edgewoodfoundation, or email info@edgewoodfoundation.org) if you'd like to help. We will be taking the proper steps to ensure social distancing happens while doing these tasks!

We hope that you can join us for our lighting of Maple Ave to show support for our essential workers! We ask that you continue all preventative measures like wearing a mask, and maintaining a safe distance while we all show our love and support as a community. You're all in our thoughts!

Borough Parks Closed

Following the Commonwealth’s decision to close their park facilities, we made the difficult decision to close Koenig Field for the time being. The dog run at Dickson Park will also be closed at this time. After careful consideration, we decided this is best for the wellbeing of the community to prevent gathering in groups. Signs will be posted at both locations, and we will provide an update when we are able to re-open these spaces.

That being said, we do still believe outdoor activity is important. If you do decide to walk/jog, etc., in public spaces, we urge you to take all recommended precautions with social distancing. Also, if sidewalks, etc. are getting crowded, please choose a different route, or consider going out at a different time. We understand that these actions may create an inconvenience and ask for your understanding in during this unprecedented time.

Street Sweeping Starts Wednesday April 1, 2020

Public works will begin sweeping Wednesday April 1, 2020 as advertised.  However, the police department will not ticket vehicles that remain on the sweeping route at this time.  We greatly appreciate those residents who take the time to find another parking spot so that we do our best to clean the streets, but we understand parking is limited while most of us are staying home.  Here's a tip from the police department: use this and every Wednesday to check on your vehicle and make sure it is locked and that your valuables are hidden and secure.  It's also a good idea to start your vehicle periodically to avoid a dead battery.

NOTICE: The April 20 council meeting has been cancelled.

NOTICE: The April 6 council meeting has been cancelled.

Yard and Bulk Waste Collection Resumes April 30

Republic Services will resume yard waste and bulk collection starting April 30.  Please continue to tightly tie all trash bags and place them in containers for pickup.

TRASH NOTICE: Yard Waste and Bulk Item Pickup Suspended

Republic Services will be suspending the collection of Bulk Waste and Yard Waste effective Thursday April 2, 2020. Do not place anything at the curb besides household refuse and recycling. Please make every effort to tie and seal garbage bags as tightly as possible to protect the safety of our essential trash collectors.

The need to suspend the collection of these items is due to the tremendous increase (30%) of residential refuse being generated while the Commonwealth operates under a ‘stay at home’ order. While this may be inconvenient for some, the need to collect residential refuse is essential to public health and takes priority over the collection of other items. Recycling will still be collected on scheduled days. Please continue to follow cleaning and sorting guidelines to minimize contamination in the recycling stream.

Neighborhood Paper "Egg Hunt"

In place of our normal egg hunt this year, neighbors are encouraged to decorate paper eggs, and place them in windows/decorate doors/place them anywhere people can see as they walk by. Eggs can go up on Saturday, April 4 and be left up all week, so everyone has a chance to search for them. Then as you walk around the neighborhood through the week, you can "hunt" for eggs.

This event is for ALL AGES, and we welcome our neighboring communities to participate!

*PLEASE REMEMBER TO FOLLOW SOCIAL DISTANCING RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE CDC. Limit your outdoor "hunt" to immediate family only, i.e. parent(s) and child(ren) and avoid close personal contact and groups. Please avoid passing others on sidewalks, and leave adequate space between one another. If sidewalks get crowded, please choose another route, or go out at a different time.
