We want our sidewalk back. The apartment building project at 132 Locust Street has stalled due to lack of funds. At the June 11, 2019 Columbia Borough Council meeting, Zoning Enforcement Manager Jeff Helm said "It's time to put their feet to the fire," due to issues at the site.

What is going in at the former Rita's
ReplyDeletePossibly a Dunkin Donuts, based on the December 20, 2018 meeting minutes of the West Hempfield Township Planning Commission.
DeleteThe reconstruction of the Veterans Memorial Bridge will have a huge impact on traffic in Columbia and the entire region, especially if traffic is shut down in both directions. I wonder if the state has discussed this with borough management and what plans are being made to handle the traffic interruptions.
ReplyDeleteThe intersection of 5th and Lancaster Avenue is a prime example of the disconnect between Penn DOT and local government. The borough can do little because it it a state maintained road (462) and, well, Penn DOT is apparently uninterested in creating a safer intersection. It is ill conceived and poorly marked. It took several weeks for me to spot the no left turn sign when I first moved to Columbia.
