Residents need access to active transport alternatives. Biking improves health, reduces pollution, and lowers the cost of living. Mandating the creation of functional bike infrastructure that directly cross, rather than meander through subdivisions in all new developments would increase accessibility to services, schools, parks and commercial centers by bike. These links should become an integral part of planning. Current opportunities include bike greenways linking Lancaster City with Greenfield via the Goat Path, Lancaster City to Park City via Noel S. Dorwart Park, and the possible creation of a protected bike lane on Lemon Street, by making this street one way and moving on-street parking closer to the center of the road to create a protected lane for bikes. In addition, better links need to be created to cross route 30, 501, Fruitville Pike, 23 and Manheim Pike. This corridor could be a primary bikeway, if proper bike infrastructure is established to facilitate crossings.

Extend Spring Valley Road from Good Drive to Farmingdale Road, with sidewalks and wide shoulders, so cars and bikes and walkers will have an alternative to congested Harrisburg Pike at US 30, instead of doing the tunnel for bikes and walkers only. And don't have the shoulder eliminated on Hbg. Pike.

There is a huge need for access to the internet for all constituents from urban to rural. While many areas have options for connectivity, not everyone has the luxury of high-speed broadband.

There is a huge need for access to the internet for all constituents from urban to rural. While many areas have options for connectivity, not everyone has the luxury of high-speed broadband.
Besides the need for internet access, local governments also have a need for connectivity between their buildings and sites. Having a high-speed network infrastructure in place can lead to a large reduction in OpEx costs to maintain local services.
Having an easily accessible network infrastructure to connect public infrastructure assets like water meters, traffic controllers, cameras, sensors, temperature monitors, and all the like can lead to a dramatic reduction of maintenance cost. This could set the stage for preventative maintenance and the avoidance of catastrophic failures that, if telemetry data was available for analysis could have been prevented.
I am proposing a plan to make this possible. If anyone on here finds this to be interesting please contact me for more information.
