Residents urge attention to child safety and parks during Modena public comment

Borough of Modena Council · February 17, 2026

Summary

Residents Donald and Debbie Shephard used public comment to say earlier councils were more organized, expressed concern about children playing unsupervised and the lack of usable parks (Culbertson Park), and urged greater parental involvement.

During the public-comment period resident Debbie Shephard said that "years ago past Council’s were more organized than what she is witnessing now," expressing frustration with the current council's pace and organization. Resident Donald Shephard raised safety concerns, saying borough children run into streets on foot or on bicycles and urged parents to get more involved because there are no usable parks currently (Culbertson Park remained snow-filled).

The council did not take immediate action during the meeting in response to these comments; the exchange was recorded in the minutes and may inform future public-works or parks discussions. The regular meeting adjourned at 8:22 p.m.
