6 issues in public safety
Skunk Hollow Trail Emergency Safety Markers
The township is considering decommissioning the Brooke Farm Trail over safety conditions and access concerns. Trail users could lose a recreational resource, so this discussion will matter to neighbors who use it.
New Board of Health Member Appointments
The board was scheduled to evaluate three prospective candidates for membership.
Communicable Disease Monitoring and West Nile Virus
The board reviewed regional health data, noting an increase in influenza B cases in local schools while COVID-19 and RSV trends remain stable.
Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention and Ordinances
Board members discussed developing a local municipal ordinance to prevent lead poisoning, noting Radnor's older housing stock. They are partnering with student interns and water utilities to check service lines and raise public awareness.
Proposed EMS substation on the Waverly property
The applicant disclosed that the Township has asked to build an EMS substation on the site — a use permitted by right, not part of the zoning application. Residents were told the Township will separately inform the community.
Fraudulent township invoice scam warning
The zoning officer warned that fake invoices claiming to be from township boards are circulating; Radnor never asks for wire transfers and official emails end in @radnor.org.
