With the arrival of several new families with young children on the block, it's becoming apparent that some of the grownups are driving too fast up and down Skyline Drive. Please drive with extreme caution past your neighbors' homes, inasmuch as there may be children playing on the sidewalks or even in the street. We will be contacting the township to inquirer about lawn signs reminding drivers to use caution.
That's the easy way to deal with this. The hard way - which would be subject to township oversight - would be if the township decided we had to have a SPEED BUMP installed in the middle of the block. Let's work together and do this the easy way, please.
About those signs posted on the basin hill ...
Our common property in the basin area is posted.Why is that? Well, it's to remind nonresidents that it's the official policy of the Associatio
n to discourage sledding on the basin hill.
Nonresidents do not have permission to use the hill, and we try to discourage everyone - including residents - from sledding on the hill out of a concern for their own safetly.
Early Learning Center to be built on Antonelli Photography school site
At a community meeting on March 23, the School Board of Springfield Twp. announced that construction of a new K-2 elementary school at the former Penn Manor site likely will begin in September 2018, with scheduled opening for the 2019 school year (fall or winter term).
About half of the open space visible from Skyline Drive will be covered with a one-story section of the new building, and buses will enter the site from Paper Mill Road across from Carlisle Road. Tentative plans show a small playground area situated close to Skyline Drive.
Private vehicles will enter the school site from Montgomery Avenue. About 18 buses will be parked overnight at the school, on parking lots that roughly conform to the existing lots. The school will be able to accommodate up to 750 students, but the expected number on opening day will be around 600.
