Remember, when we all work together, there’s nothing we can’t do. Spread kindness everyone. Anger, grudges, and resentments are not worth our time or energy. Compassion, Empathy, Peace, and Love – these are what make the world go round.

- Residents in vicinity of Lloyd Park awoke to the sound of jackhammers this week as Aqua kicked off Phase II of their $1,930,000 project to improve infrastructure in Chester County. Phase II covers Lloyd Ave between Deer Drive and just west of Stonebridge Lane. Work crews have been doing a good job with directing intermittent single-lane traffic, the backups have been about what we experienced before the traffic light at Gardner’s Bridge. Let’s do them a solid and follow the “SLOW DOWN” signs – those workers are right up to the center of the road and by not slowing down in a work area, some make their jobs more dangerous than need be.
- At our last BOC meeting we approved the plans for Farmhouse Coffee to move forward and start the momentum to change the vibe of Lincoln Highway. It’s like dominoes folks, one great thing leads to the next. We’re thrilled they chose Caln to trust with their future.
- Monday evening, I was at Parks and Rec to pitch a potential 2024 historic event for Spackman-Davis Farm and was once again reminded of what a great group they are! 2023 will be a hard to act to follow, but from what I heard 2024 should be even better! Of course, more fun requires more work, and they could really use more residents coming to their meetings and signing up to help. Why don’t you consider it, even if all you’re able to do right now is “share” their events on your social media community, that’s a great start.
- Our first zoning update workshop of 2024 will be next Thursday Feb. 15th at 6:30pm, both in person and via zoom. We’re very excited to get this process over the goal line.
- Speaking of goal lines, did you know on Super Bowl Sunday DUI rates are 22% higher, and 46% of traffic deaths are alcohol related. All too often it’s the innocent who fall victim to drunk drivers. This Sunday, please don’t drive if you’ve been drinking; there’s plenty of ride shares available to get everyone across the goal line safely.
- Last Friday evening we had the honor of attending the Caln Township Police Awards dinner at the Thorndale Inn. The evening was everything it could have been – fun, celebratory, and moving. I’m sure my colleagues would agree that we were in awe of the bravery and selflessness exhibited by the recipients. As the Chief told their stories of valor, sacrifice, and honor beyond imagination, I had to catch my breath. It’s one thing to know something, it’s another to feel it, and that night I felt how very special each one of our officers are. Please, next chance you have, take a moment to thank one of them, even if it’s when they’re writing you a ticket. For they truly are Caln’s finest.
