An application has been received for conditional use approval by the New Garden Township Board of Supervisors to construct a 130 foot communications tower on the property owned by Anthony J. Santoro and Renee L. Santoro located at 1511 Yeatman's Station Road, Landenberg PA. The property is located within the R-1 Residential Low Density Zoning District. Concerned citizens of Landenberg oppose the placement of this industrial tower due to its proximity to the White Clay Creek Preserve, home to over 90 species of birds and habitat to over 100 varieties of migratory birds, including American Bald Eagles, birds of conservation concern, rare plants, including three endangered, one threatened, and two rare plant species that grow in the surrounding area. White Clay Creek possesses outstanding scenic, wildlife, recreational, and cultural value, it has been designated by Congress as a National Wild and Scenic River, we would like to see that it is preserved for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations to come. We feel that the current proposed area would negatively impact the preserve creating an adverse visual impact for park users, and significantly impacting neighboring residential communities by markedly reducing property values, creating millions of dollars of devaluation in home prices directly effecting individuals in our Landenberg neighborhoods. In addition, it would ruin views both from the park and from many homes in the area that look only on nature, homes, and farms. Many residents purchased their homes for the visual beauty which the view of the park provides, not an industrial cell tower. Stealth means of camouflage would create an eyesore as the tower would be some thirty feet above the natural tree line and could be seen for miles around. Cell towers negatively impact the health of birds and wildlife not only living in the proposed area but also those that migrate through the area. When there are other commercial and municipals lands available, many with higher elevations, we ask our Board of Supervisors to vote NO to placing a communications tower in its proposed location, in the some of the most beautiful, scenic, unique, lands in New Garden and London Britain Townships and within Southern Chester County as a whole. We strongly support the use of alternative locations and alternative technologies that would better serve the needs of all members of our community to provide safe mobile phone coverage without adverse environmental and economic impacts to our citizens.

I have spent years of volunteer work at food banks to help needy families and neighbors. Food banks help working families who are trying to make ends meet fight hunger. Fighting hunger will increase productivity at work and school. I want to fight with the senate to restore this funding

Too many deaths at this intersection!

My wife and I work full time jobs in New York City and, along with hundreds of thousands of other commuters, have been late for work and delayed getting home over a dozen times in April 2017 because of NJ Transit.

I believe that you are in agreement and will stand with me in ensuring that with a safer designed school zone our Providence of Englewood scholars as well as surrounding residents will be able to safely cross this intersection by the proper placement of digital 15 mph signs. In the 2016-2017 school year several pedestrians have had instances where they came very close to being struck by speeding vehicles; including myself. These Radar signs will visually alert drivers of current speed of their vehicle and to not exceed a speed limit of 15 mph during school hours. I hope you agree that our children deserve the right to safely cross the street just as at other school zones. Let us move forward in addressing this traffic control issue together for a safer school zone for our children.

As a commuter, getting to and from work and home in a timely matter, without delays or re-routing is our RIGHT, not our privilidge. The amount we pay NJT every month, just to de delayed, or worse, re-routed or stalled for hours, is completely unacceptable partnered with the kind of service we're getting. We're asking for NJT to waive the cost of the monthly train pass for May for all NYC bound commuters. If they do not concede, we're asking each of you to stand up for your rights. To boycott the system. To say, WE'VE HAD ENOUGH. To REFUSE to pay for a monthly pass for May and demand we ride for free during the month of May. It's the least they can do for us, taking into consideration the hours of ours lives lost and wasted on delays or re-routing. Terrible service effects our work hours and even worse, our family life and time spent with our families. Stand up for your rights. Either NJT gives every commuter a free May pass, or YOU REFUSE TO PAY FOR ONE. Stay strong. Stand up for what you believe in. Come May 1st, if we don't hear from NJT officials about a free month, refuse to buy a ticket and board your train as usual. We outnumber them. We need to take control back.

My family and I have travelled coast to coast and beyond via Amtrak's long distance train service: from Charleston, SC to Portland, Oregon; from Charleston, SC to Montreal Canada; etc. Our home station in Charleston, SC is on the list of stations we'll lose if Trump's budget passes. My 7-year-old son, Jack, is particularly devastated. On our travels, we've made many friends — often people from other countries to whom train travel appeals when they're vacationing here. In short, eliminating our long-distance rail service would be a loss not only to American citizens, but also to international tourists and the tourism industry.

Ben Carson is appointment to fix low-income housing challenges by cutting the HUD budget by $6 billion. I work at a halfway house with hardworking Moms who struggle with addiction and mental health. If the HUD cuts go into effect, these women will struggle to find affordable transitional housing. If they have no housing, they and their children are likely to go back on the streets or live in unsafe situations. Let's work together to give those struggling with addiction and mental a chance to have a safe and sober life.

The residents of my hometown, Cotton Plant, Arkansas are being forced to pay for contaminated water! No one in the US should have to tolerate these circumstances! Clean water should be a top priority for every person in this country!

On January 7, 2017, there was a horrific accident that took the life of Shania Costella. Shania’s vehicle hydroplaned on Road 426 and China Creek, and her vehicle rolled over the edge and into the creek. Her loss was felt across the mountain community, her high school, friends, and family. Shania’s sister Sahvannah survived the tragic accident, and together with Caleb Morgan, one of Shania’s friends, they have decided to start this petition to prevent any further accidents on this dangerous stretch of road. This curve is unsuspectingly sharp, and there have been numerous other accidents at this spot. We are urging you sign this petition to put up a guardrail at this location. This guard rail has the potential to save lives and prevent families from enduring the heartache that has been felt from Shania’s loss. Please take a moment to sign this, and make a difference in our community.
