Results Of The Last Community Meeting

I was able to attend the last community meeting that happened yesterday and here is what was mostly discussed:

• The big topic of discussion was the work that is being done on Willow Avenue between Penrose and Sycamore Sts. It seems that there have been a lot of complaints about the way that the traffic is moving in that area so the street improvement is supposed to hopefully take care of that. Commissioner Portner emphasized that the cost of the work is being paid for with government grants.
  
  Trees are also going to be planted when the work is done.
  
  
• Also it was brought up as to why the area on Willow Ave. between Sycamore and Old York Road did not receive any of the new lighting that was installed and the answer was that since there was not enough money to do the whole area the area that was chosen was chosen because it had more residential properties and that there were more "dark" areas that needed to be lighted.
  
  
• There is still yet no buyer for the Temple's Tyler School of Art property.
  
  
• A special celebration is going on at the Shoprite at Cheltenham Mall to mark the completion of their renovation project. This will happen on Wednesday, December 14th at 10:30am
  

If you are interested in attending any of the future community meetings I will try to keep posting the updated information about them.

What's Going On On Willow Avenue?

Just in case you haven't noticed it (or were not aware of it) there is some major street work being done on Willow Avenue between Penrose and Sycamore.

I asked one of the residents what was going on and he told me that Willow Avenue was being widened to better accomodate the traffic in the area.

I still have yet to confirm this with the township though. But I did want to mention that I will miss some of the trees that were taken down to make way for this "improvement" and I'm specifically thinking about the Cherry Blossom tree that bloomed every April (or so) that was located near the corner of Willow and Cedar Lane

(oh and by the way, since I still see the mailbox in this picture I should also mention that I miss that too!
