Susquehanna Heritage Announces Land & Water Shuttle Study Request For Proposal

By -

Susquehanna Heritage seeks a consultant team to conduct a feasibility study for land and water shuttle services in the River Towns and Lake Clarke areas of the Susquehanna River corridor through Lancaster and York Counties in Pennsylvania. The primary purpose of the study is to assess the financial and operational feasibility of transporting visitors between the Zimmerman Center and Columbia Crossing through a seasonal land and water shuttle service with on-board interpretive programs. This new service is intended to improve visitor readiness, expand visitor programs, and build visitation from outside the region.

WHO is paying for the "consulting team"?
Even if Columbia Borough is paying part of this, what happens to the $15,000 anticipated in 2018 for consulting fees. This, in addition to the consultants being hired due to failed funding for the streetscape project, seems like this would put us WELL OVER the $15,000. Let's see some real numbers.

I agree why must this boro spend for unnecessary things it will never be like the good old days. People just can't afford to pay all these taxes most are on limited income in this town.

What good is the trail attraction doing for the residents here? It may be nice for residents to use, but an expensive playground we are funding for others. The others, by the way, are not all going up to town. Even if they were, how is that helping the average homeowner? Don't tell us it will raise home values. Columbia is fast approaching a 50% rental vs ownership ratio. In the forgotten end of town sale prices are lower than they were in the early 1980s. The town looks dead most of the time.

Yes, it has been clearly stated, so who will really pay for it? It was also clearly stated that the Columbia Crossing building would be maintenance-free.

Is this an actual need for people? Is it for transportation to and from work or just a tourist fun thing to do?

Columbia Borough is clearly listed on the Susquehanna Heritage website as a funding source. YES, we are helping to pay for the study. Stop trying to hoodwink the residents.

People that use the rail trail and river park are NOT spending money in Columbia. They would not buy a .50 cent soda from a hot dog wagon at the Columbia end of the trail, yet the tax payers paid for the paving of Heritage Drive so the trial users would have some where to park. There are streets that have traffic on them in Columbia that should have been paved first. A fence and trees should have been installed at an entrance to Columbia not the cabins, relax cabin owners this is not to get you upset, understood you are taxpayers also and it was not your decision.

People who are on the trail for exercise are probably not interested in a hot dog or a soda, but I get your point!

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

By Columbia Spy -

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 -

  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...
