Northwest River Trail Parking Reminder | Columbia Borough Police Department

By -

With the weather getting better use of the Northwest River Trail is expected to get busier. Attached is a picture of the parking areas where people can park while using the Northwest River Trail. Traffic on the trail is expected to be heavy this weekend. Please use caution on the trail along Route 441 as there are some detour signs partially blocking the trail near Bridge Street. Be safe and enjoy the warm temperatures.

Seems the Boro lot at the bottom of Locust St is CLEARLY marked on the map with a "P".

Maybe one should understand how to decipher a map before responding unintelligibly with all capital letters, thus looking like a fool.

BUT will the parking enforcement ticket cars parked there? There is a charge to park there, better check with the girls at 308 to avoid a ticket, They love to ticket and might be behind a dumpster or behind a tree or something.

Finding the beginning of the trail could be hard ,but when you are on it just follow the spray painted wall and keep your kids looking down at the river so they don"t ask what certain words are!!!

I'm not sure it is a "lot" under the bridges but it is paved and you can park there. Also, everyone knows that there is graffiti there. It is expensive to continually remove it so I guess it has to be an eyesore for a while. Sign of the times I guess. People with too much time on their hands and no respect for OPP .. other people's property.

No, the sign says trailer parking only. So if you have a RV or dump trailer, you can use it. According to the sign.

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 -

  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...
