The Historic Stone Arch Reading Road Bridge has been part of the county's story since being built in 1824

I'm just a swim mom, frustrated with the lack of importance being placed on the quality of our pools. The Parks, Recreation and Trails Advisory Board is making a crucial decision this month regarding their recommendations to the Borough Assembly. Please share this with everyone you know who can help us be heard. These pools are utilized by lap swimmers, swim lessons, water safety classes, highschool swimmers, and competative swimmers. If we don't speak up, the resolution could be killed and nothing solved!!!!

The truck weigh station as proposed for Lucketts, Virginia is inconsistent with our desires and the impact on our traffic poses a safety hazard to our families. Although the desire to secure additional revenue is understood, the negative impact to our citizens, community and scenic Route 15 is not. We ask that you abandon this project immediately. Instead, we ask that any tax dollars available be used to implement the improvements set forth in the proposed Lucketts Safety Plan, such as sidewalks , turn lanes and crosswalks. Introducing this level of mayhem to our fragile transportation corridor while simultaneously exposing us to safety issues and added pollution is unacceptable. This is hallowed ground. The Route 15 bypass near Leesburg where inspections are already taking place would be a more appropriate location.

The Medford City Council will meet on Tuesday night, 10/1/13. The Council resolution below would add 50% more funding to the Medford Arts Council in 2014 to support community arts and cultural activities. Every year, the Medford Arts Council allocates STATE funding to events including concerts at Wright's Pond; the Community Read and school vacation performances at the Library; West Medford Open Studios; Circle the Square arts performances; CACHE and the Mystic River Celebration in October; dance and music performances for seniors and in nursing homes; field trips, afterschool and in-school enrichment programs for students; Dance in the Fells/Dance at Wrights Pond; and much more. The city has not contributed to this funding, although the events serve a varied and large community audience and engage dozens of volunteers to bring activity and foot traffic to our commercial areas and arts venues. Sign this petition and show Mayor McGlynn and the City Council your support for CITY funding for these events! Offered by Marks and Penta #13-689 "Be it resolved .. that in light of all the wonderful citizen driven community arts activities that have branched out throughout our City during this past year, a sum of $10,000 be added to the 2014-2015 City budget to be earmarked for the Medford Arts Council in support of our community art activities."

SR 146 and Fox Run Rd is a dangerous intersection!

On Wed, July 10 2013 the Cuomo Administration announced a comprehensive statewide Office of Mental Health reorganization plan that would shut down nine psychiatric hospitals throughout New York State. The Elmira Psychiatric Center (EPC) is one of the facilities to be closed. This will force anyone who needs to use a psychiatric hospital in the Elmira area to travel a much greater distance to get to a hospital. These cuts impact the Southern Tier more severely than downstate. This issue crosses political boundaries and affects the area regardless of political affiliation. We are seeking signatures of concerned residents of New York by the end of October. Thank you very much for your support.

Willard Pool is a vital community resource. Teaching all people how to swim is a critical part of a child's education. We need that pool re-opened for both child and adult swimmers.

I have heard of many car accidents at the Intersection of Springfield Avenue and Constantine Place in Union County New Jersey. I have asked the head of Public Works Joseph Graziano for help and he has been great. There is only so much he can do. I would like this intersection to be made safer through the use of lights and increased signage, and more police activity.

New Mexico has serious issues with poverty, including the nation's worst ranking for child welfare, serious mental health issues and largest number of people living with food insecurity. Secretary Sidonie Squires is responsible for our most important programs addressing these problems, but she denies the problem and the science behind it. She told staff in an email, "There has never been and is not now any significant evidence of hunger in New Mexico." Like other out-of-state leaders appointed to critical government positions, Squires didn't know New Mexico's issues when she started and she just won't learn.

The Mission and Van Ness crossing in Santa Cruz is a death trap. I have a property near the corner and have watched countless accidents and near-death experiences through the years. With a new medical and pediatrics center going in at this location, crosswalk warning lights or a traffic signal is badly needed. I do not want to see pregnant women and children plowed over. Because this is a four-lane road, drivers speed around stopped cars and do not see the people in the crosswalk. Over and over I have seen people nearly plowed over and cars smashed. The intersection is full of skid marks. Protect our kids and families who will be using the new PAMF center.

WE WANT THE CONFIGURATION OF MOUNT MORRIS PARK WEST CHANGED BACK TO WHAT IT WAS PRIOR TO THE D.O.T. CHANGES AND WE WANT TRAFFIC LIGHTS ON EVERY CORNER TO CONTROL TRAFFIC SPEED AND MAKE THIS STREET SAFER.

Year in and year out we try to learn as much as possible in the shortest amount of time. This year, we don't have a place to do so. We want to have a space available 24 hours a day so that we can come and be able to ask our peers last minute questions at any time of day and know that there is a place that this can be done in. Help us be the best we can be!
