In November, PennDOT will advertise for bids. Work will begin next spring and be completed by the summer of 2011.

At all times, two lanes of traffic and one sidewalk will remain open.

No businesses will be negatively impacted, though the temporary new entrance for Bill's Best Choice Transmission will be through the Wawa parking lot.

Neighbors noted that the area is already home to a lot of traffic, but PennDOT believes keeping driving lanes open is better than shutting down the road completely and forcing motorists to detour.

To comment on the project, write to Mike Holva, P.E., Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Engineering District 6-0, 7000 Geerdes Blvd., King of Prussia, PA 19406-1525.

In other news from the June 11 meeting:

¥ Joma Salon, at 7246 Rising Sun Ave., agreed to temporarily drop its effort to get a variance to be able to offer massage therapy.

The salon has been open for more than a year, providing hair care, body waxing and facials. It is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Neighbors complained that the exterior sign was too flashy, and one woman wondered why a hair salon had so many male customers.

The crowd seemed to really turn against the business when it was revealed its advertisement on the craigslist Web site had the tag line, "We make sure you leave with a smile."

Soon after, attorney Vince DeFino announced that Joma would no longer seek relief from the Zoning Board of Adjustment.

¥ The Rev. Dave Carey, pastor of United Methodist Church of the Redeemer, announced that he has been assigned to Ridge Avenue United Methodist Church in Roxborough.

Carey had been pastor at United Methodist Church of the Redeemer, at Cottman and Lawndale avenues, for nine years. His last service will be on Sunday. He has been an active patrolling member of Burholme Town Watch.

The new pastor will be the Rev. David Brown, from Somerton United Methodist Church.

The Burholme Community Town Watch and Civic Association will continue to have its meetings at United Methodist Church of the Redeemer.
