Citizen Activism Protects Busway

Citizen Activism Protects Busway — SEPTA is hard at work its the long-neglected Hathaway Lane busway in Ardmore and we accept a nice chunk of credit for the authority getting off its tail and going to work.

Well done, Sharon Devaney.

As work progressed, however, a new and deep pothole was found by Ellen Segal DiStefano. She told a SEPTA worker who responded that it was a township problem.

So she called Haverford Township who told her it was a SEPTA problem.

She persisted, however. She contacted elected officials and wrote about it on Facebook’s South Ardmore Business Alliance.

Lo and behold the pothole is gone.

Well done, Ellen DiStefano.

Haverford ZHB Starting To Care About Flooding?

Haverford ZHB Starting To Care About Flooding?

By Sharon Devaney

Jason Kelce asked the Haverford Zoning Hearing Board, Feb. 20, for permission to add a fence and remove some slopes at his property on Coopertown Road in Havertown.

The work is part of a project by Kelce and his wife Kylie to build a new home.

Neighbor Wendy De La Rosa expressed concern about the project inundating her property with water runoff.

The project was approved with a condition that runoff not adversely affect neighbors.

Oh, if only a similar concern was shown in Ardmore to Saint Marys Road residents when an addition was built on Chestnut Avenue.

Right Larry Holmes?

Ardmore Would Lose Desperately Needed Parking With Proposed Project

Ardmore Would Lose Desperately Needed Parking With Proposed Project

By Sharon Devaney

Residents in the neighborhood in Ardmore are expressing concern of the plans to put a building behind Ardmore House on Ardmore Ave across from the Post Office to be called Ardmore House 2 .

The new facility, which will be under different ownership, will be used for 48 senior housing units. The small-knit community is already experiencing congestion due to all the recent development around Cricket Avenue and Suburban Square. Their plan is to take away 98 desperately needed parking spots to for the building.

What is the Lower Merion Planning Commision thinking? Be prepared to walk if you have to mail a package.

If it is under different ownership why the same name?
