Residents petition South Londonderry supervisors for crosswalks on Northside Drive; board to revisit study
Summary
Nearly 50 residents petitioned the board and multiple public commenters urged the township to install crosswalks on Northside Drive and improve pedestrian access to Campbelltown Park; Vice Chairman Jack Custer recommended adding the crosswalk study recommendations to a future workshop agenda.
Residents pressed the South Londonderry Township Board of Supervisors on May 10 for action to improve pedestrian safety on Northside Drive.
During public comment several residents urged the board to install crosswalks. Resident Steve Tilley advocated for crosswalks at Northside Drive, and Michele and Richard Yohe submitted a petition signed by almost 50 residents supporting crosswalk installation. Pat Krebs, Bill Stamey and Cindy Champion also urged crosswalks and pedestrian-safety measures. Mark Houser raised concerns about traffic-light timing, and Jane Popko and Andrew Geronimo urged improved access to Campbelltown Park, including a bridge for Carriage Park residents.
Vice Chairman Jack Custer recommended that the status of the crosswalk study recommendations be scheduled for additional discussion at a future workshop meeting, effectively keeping the issue on the board’s agenda while deferring immediate action.
The minutes record strong community interest but do not list a formal motion or timeline for installation, nor do they specify funding sources for any crosswalk projects. The petition and multiple public comments indicate sustained resident concern; the board’s next step, per the minutes, is to address the study recommendations in a workshop setting.
The board did not make a formal decision on crosswalk installation at the meeting; the issue remains under consideration.
