Wouldn't it be nice to have a Riverfront Trail for walking/biking and maybe some Restaurants with patios? I agree that the space should be re-developed, but whatever happens, it should also allow for some public access.

Agree with Mr. Gaetz. If the area is developed, the developer should be required to create a River Trail connecting at the Belmont Ave Bridge extending East to West River Drive. Then Lower Merion should pick up the trail from Belmont and continue it to Conshohocken.

I checked the "no" box for development because: I don't want to see 500 condos there. I think a small retail center would be great - something down home and low key. But what I think will happen is - every developer wants to make a much money as possible (understandable), and this area will quickly get overdeveloped. I see this coming, and don't feel residents can do much about it. Loss of intelligent action takes over when the developers yell how much money the development will make for the township. Poof, instant approval.

Kind of like the new Taco Bell on City Line. I don't think this was good for the Bala-Cynwyd community. The local kids don't want to work there, and I don't think most of the local residents will eat there. Of course, that's just my opinion.

Not if it's an O'Neill property. This guy threatens lawsuits wherever he goes. He did it in East Norriton in recent years. And I haven't forgotten the horrendous fire in Conshohocken, caused by a welder's torch, and fueled by O'Nelll skimping on things such as fire-protection measures such as sprinklers.

We want Bala Cynwyd to be an upscale suburb with desirable homes. Who's going to want to pay a lot for a condo with the Schuylkill Expressway and freight trains roaring by overhead in a place where the vegetation is killed off by whatever Georgia Pacific spilled around their complex, and only one way in or out? (The bridge will take a car from only one way at a time.)

I would love to see a restaurant with a park like playground. Someplace a parent could go and relax and catch up with friends over a nice meal while kids played safely. Nothing as hideous as a McDonalds playland though.

Good for you George. At least we have one (or two) honest reps.
Bala Cynwyd needs more traffic like we need a hole in our heads.
