In case you were wondering, Phoenixville's benches, currently missing from the downtown area, are just on a temporary hiatus as they get fixed. According to a press release from the borough, the benches had to have their foot pedestals fixed because they were corroding.

Keystone Designs in Butler, Pa., originally built the benches and is in charge of fixing them. The benches were put in place in the downtown during both phases of the recent streetscaping and benches from both phases were affected, according to the borough.

As part of the reconditioning, protective feet will be added to the benches to prevent damage from the brick sidewalks.

All this is being done at no cost to the borough since the benches were still under warrenty. When they return they will be placed exactly where they once sat, according to the borough.
