As residents of Hillborn Avenue (a street which straddles Springfield Township and Swarthmore Borough), we learned only this morning that PECO is planning to install new equipment on a route that includes our street. We have requested that PECO place this project on hold so that a full assessment of the project’s environmental impact can be completed and communicated to local residents.
Although we were in full support of Swarthmore College’s decision to close its campus to visitors, my husband and I were also saddened, especially since a piece of the Crum Woods lies just behind our home. Imagine my surprise to learn recently that this beloved patch of earth is no longer a part of the Crum Woods! A check of the Delaware County website shows that the property was sold by the college in March of this year.
