Don’t be surprised to see the speed limit on South Creek Road drop by 5 mph.
Pennsbury Township Manager Kathy Howley told the Board of Supervisors on Wednesday, April 20, that she had been contacted by PennDOT, saying speed would be reduced from 40 mph to 35 mph from Route 1 in Chadds Ford Township, through Pennsbury and down to the Delaware state line.
She said the reason is because of the anticipated work on the Twin Bridges between Chadds Ford and Pennsbury. However, she still doesn’t know when the change will go into effect. Howley said she’d be getting a letter from PennDOT with details.
“It can’t start until we get the [speed limit] signs,” she said.
In other business, Howley reported that the Brandywine Conservancy is working on an easement to preserve as permanent open space the acreage Pennsbury bought from Toll Bros.
That land is 23 acres in three parcels. One parcel lies on each side of the township building, and a smaller piece is at Hickory Hill Road.
The supervisors voted to go ahead with the easement process, with no more than $7,200 to be used for the documentation of the easement and another $8,000 for the endowment.
Pennsbury bought the 23 acres for $4.8 million at the end of 2014, ending years of controversy regarding the property that centered on the land’s use as a planned village development.
Howley reminded people that the township’s annual yard sale is this Saturday, April, 23, in the township park, and she added that there will be dumpsters in the maintenance area the following week, April 28, 29, and 30, for large-item disposal. She added, however, that it would not be for electronics.
Also on April 30, Pennsbury will have a shredding event in the parking lot at the township building.
Supervisor Aaron McIntyre said the board would begin discussing a pipeline ordinance during its May meeting. He did not go into any specifics.
