Evidently, someone wants a cookie. As part of a community, do it because you are a part of it, not to present as passive-aggressive. Stop bashing the Boro. If you don't like it, leave.

I am soooooooo sick of the mentality " if you don't like it, leave". Give the guy credit, he IS doing something.

People complained about river park being plowed before some borough streets were done. I believe that this sign was placed there to DEFEND the borough workers. They weren't at river park plowing, a private citizen was doing that job. Shut up and go bake the man some cookies, he deserves them, or at least the "dough".

YES, as a matter of fact it is. I have been there as a first hand witness to that. Many, many people come there and are anxious to learn about the new trail, the river, and countless numbers are photographing the bridge. If it's bringing this many visitors in January, wait until July!! I have had the pleasure of speaking to a wide variety of visitors and I'm excited about the future of Columbia. The new Columbia Crossing building and the trail are playing a crucial part in that future, as well as the antique shops, market, galleries, breweries.

Thanks Alan, did you think that maybe it was not plowed for a reason. The Building is not open, therefore no need to have people driving down by the river. The Boro focused on its residents and getting their streets done.

If antique shops, galleries, markets, parks, and microbreweries led to success, there wouldn't be a broke town in this country.

Does it count if these visitors are going to Kettle Works, Hinkle's, renting kayaks at riverpark? I have seen several visitors go from the riverpark to each of these places AND spend money. It is, along with the trail and the bypass project, one of the best investments Columbia has made.

I saw no damage and don't count on the cameras. They couldn't even see who vandalized the letters on the building. Most public parks would try to open road access. Thanks to Alan, several families were able to park at the river and enjoy the view.

Maybe this town is broke because of the school taxes and the police force benefit package. Perhaps FMB has a plan to offset that.

Some of the streets are so narrow and vehicles have been parked in all kinds of "cock-eyed" directions. Maybe next snowstorm the borough should not plow so there's no chance of any damage. There is no easy answer when we are hit with a storm like this one.

Mmmm Perhaps we need more Parking Lots?
Is it true the fire police station on SOUTH SECOND STREET will be made into a parking lot?
Let it be known, a small group was interested in purchasing that property!!!!!! Financing does not happen overnight Boro Council.
Personally I feel there is a hidden agenda,,,, .
It will be quite interesting to see what the outcome with this property is.
Yes my group is still moving ahead to secure the financing and yes, Council will be contacted, not the easiest thing to accomplish.

Columbia's decision to ban former employee from its property may be 'unconstitutional' [Lancaster Watchdog]

By Columbia Spy -
Image
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...

Mayor Lutz must accept responsibility

By Columbia Spy -
Image
  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...
