Agenda - Columbia Borough Council Meeting January 11, 2016

About Town

Some recent shots around town . . .

 Rude crude protrude

 Do you feel lucky?

(To be heard in Clint Eastwood's voice)

 Walkway to the trail

 Clouds in Hellam after yesterday's rain.

 Taken from a car going 55.

Hoverboards are fine as long as they abide by the speed limit, seen upper right.

A few minutes later on Mill Street

Are we SURE those traffic lights are synced?

A car got "stuck" on the tracks near River Park yesterday, due the traffic signals turning red while it was exiting. (The car can be seen just above the road level, in the above photo.)  A precarious place to be, especially when a train is coming. (Luckily, one wasn't.)

Ironically: this sign.

First day at the Farm Show

Backing, backing, backing up

This happens quite often at Musser's Market in the Columbia Plaza. Drivers usually need several tries before they can get lined up with the delivery area, blocking Tenth and Barber Streets in the process. Some drivers back in from Barber, some from Tenth.

The trail is open!

Pedestrians can now walk from Columbia to Marietta via the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail. The local section of the trail, which was previously closed beyond a cul-de-sac under the Wrights Ferry (Route 30) Bridge, was recently opened to Chickies Rock Park and beyond. Brush has been cleared and stone has been laid, creating a comfortable and defined walking path.  In Columbia, the trail can be accessed by crossing Bridge Street and following the walkway along the newly opened Route 441 bypass. Pedestrians crossing Bridge Street should be alert to fast-moving traffic along Route 441. A trail map and guide can be obtained by clicking HERE.

A section of fence has been removed at the former cul-de-sac under the Wrights Ferry Brdige, allowing access to the trail.

 Brush has been cleared on both sides of the trail, and the walkway has been paved with stone.

 Visitors can see the remains of an old coal-fired furnace along the trail.

The trail leads to this man-made tunnel.

 Chickies Rock County Park is on the other side of the tunnel.
