The Lansdale Borough Public Safety Committee reviewed a second 5K route proposed as a fundraiser. Police Chief McDyre said it would strip the manpower for the evening.
It’s back to the drawing board again for the North Penn YMCA and Panico’s, as the Lansdale Borough Public Safety Committee Wednesday night asked them to work out a different route for a proposed 5K Walk and Run in August. There were two problems with the event, as emphasized by Lansdale Police Chief Robert McDyre. First, the route would strip the police of all its manpower on a Wednesday evening – four officers – to control the event. Second, the route would call for a closing of Valley Forge Road and numerous detours – both, according to McDyre, would cause problems. Betty Hoffa, of the North Penn YMCA, said the 5K Run and Walk would be co-sponsored by the YMCA and Panico’s. The planned route winds through Lansdale Borough and neighboring…

Local tavern held another successful race against heart disease with its St. Patty's Day Shocker 5K
With heart disease still the number one killer of adults in America, having quick access to the device during a medical crisis greatly increases the chance of survival. No one knows that better than Daniel Cymerman of Upper Dublin. Cymerman is a bartender at Village Tavern in Montgomery Township and he raced in honor of his father in the establishment’s annual St. Patty’s Day Shocker 5K Race on Sunday. “This race is kind of surreal to me because I lost my dad less than a year ago to a heart attack,” he said. “It makes you think of how we’re really not prepared to deal with that kind of situation. If having one of these things means that a son doesn’t have to lose his father, then I’m happy to do my part.” Village Tavern owners John and …

In 2002, council approved a speed limit change for West Second Street, but it was never put in place
Talk about not following the rules of government. Ordinance No. 1680, added to the borough code on May 15, 2002, was supposed to enforce a 25 mph speed limit on West Second Street between Richardson Road and Valley Forge Road. But it never happened. During a recent Lansdale Borough Public Safety Committee report, councilman and committee chair Mike Sobel reported that last month’s meeting involved a discussion on a request from a resident on reducing the speed limit on the 800 block of West Second Street between the two roads. Sobel said there was already a 2002 ordinance on the books that did just that, but signs were never posted. “They were never put up,” Sobel said. “It will be done quickly at this point.” In other committee news, …
