This Week in Chester History…

In 1987, Chester Township Councilman Daniel Pope announced that seven Chester roads would be outfitted with steel guide rails, at a cost of approximately $120,000. The streets named were Hacklebarney, Mendham, Old Mill, Parker, Pleasant Hill, St. Bernards, and State Park Roads. In the 1960s, the roads had wooden guide rails, but over the years, they eroded.
