 A tragedy waiting to happen.
However, SDP has not reduced the danger to residents or solved the problem. If anyone is on the sidewalk when it breaks loose, we will surely have a tragedy to deal with—especially since two certified letters and photos have been sent to School Superintendent Dr. Hite. The separating pieces need to be removed from the wall under controlled conditions. Now. Not after a tragedy, but before.
If you are concerned, please contact the following: (1) Call 311. (2) Dr. Hite 440 N. Broad, 19130;

Progress to Report!
Last month I wrote about the trash-ridden entrance to East Falls at the foot of Midvale Avenue by the bus stop. We’re pleased to report great progress. It took a team effort to accomplish.
An email from a resident to

made us aware of the problem: no trash container at the busy bus stop below the Sunoco station within a stone’s throw of the new entrance to East Falls. Thanks to Gina Snyder of the East Falls Development Corp. for arranging to have two BigBelly trash receptacles placed at the bus stop. Thanks to the resident who called the situation to our attention and to volunteers who cleaned up the area in the interim.
Thanks to PWD
 A community effort solved a major trash problem.
Thanks to Queen Lane neighbors and their spokesperson, Paul Elia, who devoted so much time to this important project. And, thanks to our friends at PWD, Joanne Damme, Mike Lavery, and Debra McCarty, for their ability to listen and meet us half way.

This is my first column. I succeeded Meg Greenfield as East Falls Community Council’s Zoning Chair and First Vice President. I can only hope to do half the job that Meg did for so many years. Fortunately, she will continue on the Zoning Committee for another year. Many thanks to her for all of her hard work and devotion to the Zoning Committee, EFCC and our community. We are all in her debt. The Zoning Committee welcomes three new members and are delighted to have them on the committee. We also welcome Claire Stilley who joins by virtue of her position as Second Vice President of EFCC. L.B. Young is an architect at a Center City architectural firm. She has lived in Philadelphia for 18 years, the last year on Henry Ave with her husband Bart Venesoen. L.B. is pleased to be able to use her professional experience in architecture to support the work of the East Falls zoning committee.
Paul M. Elia is an architect who lives and works in East Falls. Most of us know Paul through his extensive and varied work on behalf of EFCC. Paul and his wife Diana Mancini have been residents of East Falls for 15 years.
