More inane graffiti recently appeared on this bench and elsewhere in Locust Street Park. Did the surveillance cameras catch who did it?
We hope so.

the camera is blind to this type of thing. Just like our police force when it involves this park.

I see new signs where put up in the park with regulations Since the signs went up not much has change. how can the regulations be enforced and the violators be prosecuted when the violators still roam the grounds? On Friday September 18th a group of volunteers clean up the entire park and some graffiti. Hats off to them! However the Park was trash again with litter on Saturday afternoon September 19th. So we had a clean park for about 24 hours. and No littering is on the new sign.

Every single day I see a variety of violations and I firmly believe that the cops see it too, they simply choose to do nothing. I'm not saying that the cops aren't doing their job, I'm saying they ignore a lot.

they take their orders from a supervisor or Chief and Mayor. Not their choice. We ALL have a boss that we must answer too. Go to Boro Council mtg Mon 9/28 at 6:00 and ask the Mayor about it

we all know this. Council and the mayor and the Chief made up the new regulations. Going to a meeting will not help matters because Council gave the police authority to enforce these regulations last November. it's just a darn shame that nothing can done. I for one will start being vigilante. My friend Louisville Slugger will be with me.
Chris Vera [Columbia Spy file photo] The following information is excerpted from a December 6, 2025 LNP Watchdog article by LNP | LancasterOnline reporter Jade Campos. Still reeling from an abrupt firing from his role as head of the Columbia Market House in March, Chris Vera was surprised to get a letter in the mail from a Columbia Borough attorney two weeks later telling him he was banned indefinitely from borough property. The letter gave no reason for the ban. Nine months later, Vera, who has served as president of the Columbia Historic Preservation Society for more than a decade and has helped with the borough’s comprehensive plan, is still banned from borough property. He believes the ban includes borough parks, which is part of the reason he moved his annual Albatwitch Day festival, which celebrates the myth of a local cryptid, to Wrightsville. Vera said he’s not sure why the borough went to such lengths to keep him away from public spaces given his termination from the borough s...
NATHAN WILLISON | LNP Staff Writer An East Donegal Township man is facing criminal charges after police say he struck a 13-year-old with his truck and fled the scene last month. Derek Scott Mohr, 28, is charged with causing an accident involving death or injury without a license, failing to stop to render aid, driving at an unsafe speed and related charges. Mohr had been driving a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado through Chestnut Street in Columbia around 8 p.m. March 20 when he struck a 13-year-old boy riding a motorized scooter and continued driving, according to charging documents filed by police. When police arrived, they found the boy with a broken leg and a cut to his forehead. His scooter was lying nearby, its handlebars completely snapped off. Another teenager who witnessed what happened described the truck to police and said that the driver made no attempt to stop after striking the boy. Surveillance footage collected from the area shows the truck striking the b...
GUEST COMMENTARY [Name withheld by request out of fear of retaliation] For two decades, Leo Lutz has occupied the mayor's office in Columbia, and his supporters are quick to credit him with every positive development in our borough, but leadership is a two-way street. If Mayor Lutz is going to accept praise for Columbia's successes, many of which, frankly, he had little direct involvement in, then he must also be held accountable for our failures. The facts paint a troubling picture. Despite the mayor's repeated assurances that our streets are safe, we've witnessed a disturbing rise in assaults, shootings, and vandalism. His promises have fallen by the wayside: the foot patrol we were promised never materialized, nor did the bike patrol that was supposed to increase our sense of security. Fiscally, the situation is equally dire. Taxes have increased at least twice during Mayor Lutz's tenure, yet the borough now finds itself millions of dollars in debt. This isn...
