The conestoga village neighborhood is home to many young families and an abundance of small children as well as close to the local park, Clem Macrone. It also is a common pass-through that is used for fed ex trucks, contractors, delivery trucks, etc who do not obey the 15 MPH speed limits. Speed bumps should be placed on barcladen circle, deboran lane, hickory lane, and fairfax to prioritize safety for these children and enforce these drivers to obey they speed limit. There is several speed bumps on aldwyn lane in radnor and I think the same should be done for conestoga village.

Earles lake and 9 acres of wooded land is slated for sell to a developer. Earles lake is in both Newtown and Radnor township. In an effort to preserve the beauty of the site, the wetland, the wooded land and the flood control it provides, we propose that the two townships step in and negotiate a possible conservation easement.

EVERY morning, a traffic jam occurs on Lancaster Ave near King of Prussia (or "KoP") Road and the 476 ramps while driving East toward Villanova. The primary reason is that there are only two lanes for through traffic and two left turn lanes for KoP road. The two KoP left turn lanes are never congested and one turn lane would suffice. Why not eliminate the outer left turn late and make that third lane on Lancaster nearest the median into a 476 North Only lane that runs across KoP road and feeds directly into the subsequent two left turn lanes for 476 North? Alternatively, the third lane could be made into an optional KoP left turn OR 476 North straight lane so long as the signal lights would be adjusted as necessary. Either option would significantly reduce morning congestion in this portion of Lancaster Ave and make life better for all travelers using this road. It would also help improve emergency vehicle response times by reducing the congestion that can impede their travel.

Gas and electric-powered leaf blowers are not just irritating noise-pollutants but environmental hazards and must be banned in Radnor Township.
The average blower measures 70-75 dB at 50 feet. The WHO recommends general daytime outdoor noise levels of 55 dBA* or less. Leaf blowers are routinely used less than 50 feet from unconsenting pedestrians and neighboring homes occupied by home workers and those who need to sleep during the day.
Acoustics experts say blower noise is especially irritating because of its pitch, changing amplitude, and the lack of control by the hearer.
Blowers create wind speeds in excess of 180 mph, more damaging to topsoil, trees, and plants than a hurricane or tornado.
Blower winds stress plants, cause dehydration, and burned leaves. They effectively distribute disease spores, weed seeds and insect eggs throughout the landscape (as well as to neighboring landscapes). Blowers also create a disposal problem as most leaves are hauled off for municipal waste.

It would be beneficial for constituents to have the township consider starting a composting initiative. Individuals could collect and drop off food scraps, leaves, and appropriate materials to be used for a large compost pile. Once everything is broken down, the compost could be used by residents for home projects, landscaping, and gardening needs. I know there is already leaf compost, but expanding it to green waste would help to further reduce waste going to landfills.
