happy first day of spring! narberth borough still has turning sabine park into development on the brain. borough council meeting 7 pm tonight.

So yo, Narbs and Lower Merion neighbors, did you think this was going away? It is NOT. I wrote about this before and the lawyer fighting to save this park is working hard (Phil Rosenzweig) BUT people? You need to go BACK to meetings and speak. Or speak via zoom. Email. Contact media.

I checked when this all went up on Narberth Borough’s website for this evening and well, can you say shifty? They barely provide notice and that is a TYPICAL SLEZOID move to keep people away from meetings.

Narberth’s Democrats should be ashamed since well.. developing a park is hardly environmentally friendly is it? It’s just greed and laziness.

Where is the clause about shady shit in trying to sell a park for development???

People, you can zoom or go in person. But NOTHING beats bodies in the seats in person.

The Save Sabine Coalition has a website. It does need to be updated, as people have lives and they get busy. But folks? It’s pretty simple: if you don’t take an interest, Narberth Borough Council will continue down this path, which to me is sad and I thought they had grown past it but they haven’t.

I can’t fight this fight for you guys, I can only point it out. And I can say I think it is WRONG because it is wrong. But these people who are Narberth Borough government including lame duck Mayor Andrea Deutsch need to hear it from you guys.

That is kind of all I have got.

Narberth has issues and there are people on this borough council who leave me gobsmacked that they don’t get this.

Downingtown tried this a few years ago and got smacked down all the way to the PA Supremes.

Philadelphia Inquirer: Pa. high court ruling preserves parkland, limits town power to sell

In a victory for land preservationists, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has ruled municipalities cannot sell public parkland or allow developers to use public land for private easements without court approval and public participation.
