Public information officer cites active‑shooter training, unveils new GIS community map and land‑development portal
Summary
The township's public information officer said she completed active‑shooter incident management training and highlighted two new website GIS features: a multilayered community map with wards, trash routes and property data, and a land‑development document platform for tracking proposed projects.
Miss Walter, the township’s public information officer, told commissioners on July 8 that she recently attended active‑shooter incident management training offered by Lower Merion Township and recommended the training for local public safety staff.
She also described two new GIS features now on the township website: a multilayered community map that shows wards, street and property data, trash routes and nearby public facilities; and a land‑development documents platform that publishes project documents with proposed, construction and post‑construction statuses. Miss Walter credited Mister Rubin and Emma Nickerson with updating and maintaining the new pages.
Commissioners praised the recent mailed township document with new branding and thanked public information staff for their work.
Why it matters: The GIS additions increase transparency about local projects, help residents find their ward and trash route information, and centralize land‑development documents for public review.
What’s next: Staff will continue updating the platforms; commissioners encouraged promotion of the tools so residents can use them to find property and project information.
