To the Editor:

October 12 was a beautiful fall day for Lincoln University’s Homecoming and the more than 8,000 who attended. What was not fun was the unsafe road conditions as traffic was jammed throughout most of the day with parked cars making some roads gridlocked and not passable. Because of a lack of sidewalks, participants walked down the middle of the narrow country roads. In the event of an emergency with some roads not passable it could have been catastrophic.  Only by the Grace of God no emergency happened.

A meeting was held in Lincoln University’s boardroom on November 12 at the request of Lower Oxford Township Supervisors, in order to develop a safety plan and expand parking.

If you have complaints or suggestions about the unsafe roads during events held at Lincoln University, please call Lower Oxford Township at (610) 932-8150 or send an email to [email protected]. You are also welcome to attend the monthly township Board of Supervisors’ meeting that will be held at the township building on Monday, December 9 at 7 p.m.
