ReplyWell, I could cut and paste it from the PDF into a Word document and then fill out and send electronically. It requires a little extra work, but not too bad. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I will talk to the IT person at LMT to make it easier - next year!

ReplyUmmm, it is ironic. Is it not possible to download the application, fill it out and email back to Andrea Campisi? I will try it out and let you know. Besides, if you print it out on your 100% recycled copy paper you have in your printer at home (or maybe you are past printers) it won't be so bad. The township is working on being able to do more things electronically (i.e., sign up for the pools) but sometimes the wheels of government and nonprofits churn slower than the private sector.

ReplyAlex , I am sure they will vote for it. But it is helpful to know that they are fully informed by attending.meetings and listening to public comment. @Roberta and Forward Thinking resident- you can be for development and not for this project as it stands. There could be much more thoughtful development that incorporates all the positives that already exist in Ardmore. The only way that this development will make the way for increased walkability is if it paves the way for wholesale demo and redevelopment on that side of Lancaster. What is the likelihood of that? Ardmore has done an ok job of revitalizing itself while this has dragged on.

ReplyAny of these! But of course I have to recommend the Friends of Linwood Park (www.friendsoflinwoodpark.org or on facebook). We do fun stuff all year.
How about Riverbend Environmental Education Center (www.riverbendeec.org). And it would be great to venture out of our borders to places that need a lot more help than we do. Philabundance, etc. We are pretty fortunate here. -

ReplyI hope Dellheim and Lindner are there on the 19th. It would be a shame if the neighborhood this is being foisted upon does not have a vote.

ReplyUgh? Really? By the time they settle this Ardmore Baptist will have to be demolished because it will be left to sit unused for so long. Demolition by neglect, anyone?
It is true that what works in Ardmore does not work in Gladwyne. This is why we all live in different towns. I agree. But someone needs to give the people of Ardmore and the Township the tools to save a beautiful old building in the heart of a residential neighborhood. Just figure it out please. Soon.

ReplyIt's a blog, opinion. I am not a paid reporter for Patch. If you read the article Amanda posted before I even wrote my blog, you will gather the info I used to formulate my opinion. Or you can go on the LMT website to find info. The property shouldn't be demolished.

Do any of you ever go into Ardmore south of Lancaster? I think none of you must live here or else you would know how walkable the residential area is and happily connected via sidewalks to commercial areas ( Rittenhouse, Lancaster, Cricket, Ardmore Ave, County Line Red) , parks, churches, the pool, LMHS, post office, library etc. I always support more sidewalks of course but those of us who live in South Ardmore do find it very walkable.
