Residents urge sidewalk safety, data-center sewer safeguards and stormwater help during public comment
Summary
Five residents raised concerns at the May 12 meeting about locating the IM zone on the zoning map, intersection renderings, sidewalk safety in Brandywine Green, sewer provision for data centers, and an HOA stormwater pipe repair mini-grant suggestion.
During the public-comment portion of the May 12 West Bradford Board meeting, five residents raised infrastructure and planning concerns and offered suggestions for township action.
Theresa Soja asked where the IM zone appears on the zoning map and requested that the zoning map, or at least a link to it, be added to the data-centers ordinance to help residents locate the zone. Fran Schorn inquired about progress on the Broad Run/Poorhouse intersection; Chair Laurie Abele said engineer renderings are under review and the township is awaiting the engineer’s comments.
Marianne Ruffini said she does not feel safe walking in Brandywine Green because of speeding cars and asked about sidewalks; she also urged the township to require separate sewer systems for data centers so residents would not be responsible for costs. Peter Loedel asked whether the township will respond to prior climate-related questions and described an HOA-managed stormwater drainage system with an exposed pipe the HOA cannot afford to fix; he suggested a township mini-grant program to help HOAs address small stormwater repairs. Bobbie Ekdahl reported a fence frequently struck at the Telegraph/Marshallton Thorndale intersection and noted a fire hydrant placement that may contribute to the issue.
The meeting record shows the board took residents’ comments under advisement; no formal commitments or specific funding sources for the suggested actions were recorded in the transcript.
