Resident urges bus‑stop reinstatement on Boulder Drive; board to install ‘Drive Like Your Children Live Here’ signs
Summary
Resident Heather Rogan told the East Rockhill Board that Pennridge School District declined to reinstate a Boulder Drive bus stop and raised speeding concerns; Pennridge police said no enforceable speeding was observed and the board agreed to install neighborhood signage.
During public comment at the Oct. 28 East Rockhill Township Board meeting, resident Heather Rogan of 30 Boulder Drive said Pennridge School District would not reinstate a school‑bus stop on Boulder Drive in place of Stone Edge Road and expressed concern about speeding on the narrow road. Rogan requested action to address safety for children waiting for buses.
Pennridge Regional Police Chief Dickinson Jr. responded that enforcement activity had been conducted but that officers had not observed enforceable speeding; he noted that the narrow roadway contributes to the perception of higher speeds. After discussion, the board reached consensus to install “Drive Like Your Children Live Here” signs on Boulder Drive as a traffic calming and awareness measure.
The board did not record formal enforcement or further operational direction to the police department in the minutes; the comment was entered into the record and the signage action was noted as a board consensus.
The resident’s concern and the board’s signage decision were recorded in the meeting minutes; the Pennridge School District did not appear in the meeting to respond.
