PLANNING A COMPREHENSIVE FUTURE For more than a decade, the Township’s Building & Planning Department—in consultation with the Township Engineer, the Board of Commissioners, various outside consultants, and much public input—has tackled an extremely ambitious dual undertaking: Completion of the Comprehensive Plan for the Preservation, Infill, and Redevelopment of Lower Merion Township (adopted in 2016), and the first entirely new re-write of the Lower Merion Zoning Code since before World War II, set to be completed in 2019. Both documents can be read in full online at www.LowerMerion.org. Sunday Monday TueSday WedneSday ThurSday Friday SaTurday

The new Zoning Code was built upon the Comprehensive Plan process that resulted in a consensus-driven, solution-oriented vision for the future. This project launched in January 2017 with the Board of Commissioners’ selection of the nationally renowned dPZ Partners, LLC as consultant. The process included stakeholder interviews and dozens of public meetings—not only with the Board of Commissioners, but with the Civic engagement Committee, Township civic associations, and other groups. 2019 October

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES Chances to give back to the community abound in Lower Merion, from helping out at our elder care facilities to the local Home and School Association to the Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts. There’s the Community Watch, which works with Lower Merion Police, and a special subset of folks known as the Dog Walker Watch—go to lmcommunitywatch.org to learn more about both. At Narberth Ambulance, you can join more than 90 fellow volunteers. Go to narberthambulance.org to see 10 reasons to do so, just for starters. Or you can lend your expertise to one of more than a dozen Boards, Commissions, and Committees listed at the back of this calendar. Organizations of every kind throughout the community are too numerous to list here.

There are volunteer opportunities at Lower Merion’s six libraries, too. You might work the front circulation desk, assist with shelving, mend books or other materials, assist with data entry and other tasks in the technical services area, or work on special projects. Qualifications? A willingness to commit to three hours of time a week (or every other week), and an ability to deal with people—patrons, staff and other volunteers. You can download an application at LMLS.org or fill one out in person at any branch. 2019 November

IMPROVING OUR SERVICES In early 2019, the Public Works Department changed the Township’s trash and recycling routes to increase efficiency, while allowing all Lower Merion homes to have the same day for both services. That effort paid off in condensed routes, saving time for crews and taxpayer money on gasoline, oil, and wear-and-tear on tires and the trucks themselves. Now, later in the same year, another change is in the works—to begin collecting recycling from your neighborhood every week, instead of every other week (as had been the practice for many years). With the new system, one week the collection is for “co-mingled” recyclables (cans, glass, plastic, etc.) and the next week is for paper. So you'll no longer need to remember if it is your recycling week— only if it is a paper week or a co-mingled week. Sunday Monday TueSday WedneSday ThurSday Friday SaTurday

The Township is also replacing the old fleet of split-body, “rear hopper” recycling trucks to those of single hopper rear-loaders (which look similar to the older fleet). In doing so, the Township and its residents will realize an immediate savings on the purchases. It also means long-term savings for future equipment purchases, and decreased long-term maintenance and repair. The single hopper trucks make collection more efficient—they become filled less often than the dual hoppers. The savings and their impact on operating costs may well slow the need for a fee rate increase, or lessen an increase if one is needed. 2019 December

HISTORIC DISTRICTS Lower Merion’s Historic Districts are areas that have been determined to be important for their architectural integrity and historic significance—there are currently seven such districts. Within district boundaries, there are two types of properties: Contributing Resources (evaluated for the impact on themselves and the surrounding district), and Non-Contributing Resources (only evaluated for their impact on the surrounding district). Historic Districts include commercial areas and residential neighborhoods. The Township’s Historic Architectural Review Board studies modifications such as facade materials, signs (in commercial areas), and additions, if they are visible from the public right-of-way. (HARB does not review interior modifications or colors.) Sunday Monday TueSday WedneSday ThurSday Friday SaTurday

TWO-WAY COMMUNICATIONS Lower Merion is in touch with its residents in many ways, and has sought out more ways to receive tips, comments and concerns from citizens as well. The long-established Pothole Hotline continues to be popular (610-645-4782), but so is our “LM Report-It” app, which is available for free on iPhone and Android mobile and tablet devices. The GPS-enabled LM Report-It is for non-emergency issues and allows users to send photos of mal- functioning traffic signals and signs, road problems, trash issues, etc. Staff acknowledges the tip and you can then keep track of when and how the problem is being resolved. (For emergencies, always call 9-1-1.) Blackboard Connect is Lower Merion’s community alert portal, customized to suit your preferences with land line or cell phone calls, text messages and/or email about Township emergencies, road closures, Police activity in your neighborhood, and more.

TECHNOLOGY WORKING FOR YOU Over the past five years, Lower Merion has significantly increased the ease, use and number of technologies available to the public. A social media presence was established on Facebook and Twitter as a daily complement to our web site. In 2016, an entirely new version of LowerMerion.org was launched—one that is more powerful, easier to navigate, and much more pleasing to the eye. Online payment systems were rolled out through the Finance Department, and residents can now change their trash preferences online, register a special meter, and pay certain other annual bills. Though it’s never pleasant to pay parking tickets, at least you can do that online now, too. And speaking of parking, Lower Merion has partnered with Parkmobile since 2018 for an app that allows you to remotely feed your meter through your smartphone. … Another app that complements Township cleanup services is “Curb My Clutter” (curbmyclutter.com/lmt), which allows residents to text the word “pickup” for a seamless curbside collection of used clothing and electronics. … In addition, LMTV, the government-access channel, went online and on-demand a few years ago, at lmtv.viebit.com.

CARING FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT The Lower Merion Township Environmental Advisory Council (EAC), comprised of seven resident volunteers, advises the Board of Commissioners on issues impacting our environment. Since their founding in 1985, the EAC has greatly expanded their role. In May 2019, the EAC was authorized by the Board of Commissioners to oversee a community-wide sustainability planning process. Earlier, an Environmental Action Plan (EAP) for the period of 2018-2022 was implemented around six principles: Building Practices & Land Use; Education & Volunteer Projects; Energy Conservation & Sustainability; Poisonous & Invasive Species; Recycling; and Stormwater Management. In late 2018, the Board of Commissioners voted to purchase electricity supply services that are 100 percent from renewable sources, saving more than $644,400 over three years and making a positive impact on reducing the Township’s carbon footprint. It reduces carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 8,336 metric tons per year—the equivalent to the greenhouse gases of 1,785 passenger vehicles driven for one year; the CO2 emissions from 1,249 homes’ electric use over a year; or the carbon sequestered by 68 acres of forest preserved in one year.

POLICE AND THE COMMUNITY The Township’s 130-plus sworn officers of the Police Department interact with the community in many ways, every day of the year. Aside from normal duties, the LMPD conducts the Citizen's Police Academy, partners with the Lower Merion Community Watch program, regularly holds “Coffee With A Cop” events, runs the Vacant House Program, and meets often with many Township organizations that have concerns or neighborhood issues. The LMPD also partners with a private community organization, the Lower Merion Police and Minority Relations Committee (policeminorityrelations.org), created 28 years ago to help ensure issues are openly discussed, and to arrive at recommendations that foster respect and trust between the LMPD and the community. The Committee increases communication between police and the minority community, and ensures the Township provides diversity/sensitivity training for all officers, and assists in the department’s new officer recruitment campaigns. For more details on the LMPD, on joining the force, or any other information including the department’s Annual Report and its Policy Manual, go to LowerMerion.org/ services/police-department.
