Are you constantly searching for more parking at the high school? Do you struggle to avoid those potholes on Lancaster Avenue? Radnor’s Comprehensive Plan is in development, and it’s your turn to impact the future of Radnor! The goal of this expansive vision is to take the public’s recommendations and generate a plan of action for the township’s investments and decision-making. Our district’s Comprehensive Plan has not been updated since 2003 so it’s all hands on deck! Thankfully, the Township has hired a fantastic professional team to help curate the plan. FHI Studio, a company experienced in generating plans like this one, will be running the operation and engaging with Radnor via a variety of outlets. The professionals will be accompanied by a creditable advising committee too, consisting of administration, students, and members of the community. Now running a Virtual Workshop, you can share your vision for our district in only 5 minutes!
What is the comprehensive plan?
Comprehensive plans are legally required documents that outline all aspects of a community to provide a basis of its goals. The Vision for Radnor 2035 is Radnor’s document which will specifically outline the development of various areas aiming to address:
- Open space, trails, & recreation areas
- Stormwater management
- Neighborhood conservation
- Economic development
- Community resources
- House diversity & affordability
- Mobility & connectivity
- Institutional relations
- Historic Preservation
- Environmental protection & sustainability
With so many topics, students, parents, and community members can easily find an issue that resonates with them. The administration wants to hear your voice and is diligently working to address each and every one of the categories on the list above thoroughly. For students, the plan could impact issues such as campus parking, and for families, this plan could potentially affect the neighborhoods we all live in. The Vision of 2035 is designed for the future of the district, so while a new parking lot may not be added to the high school this coming summer, you can be sure to see changes soon!
Moreover, this is the perfect opportunity to offer suggestions that will impact our community for years to come. By taking part in the plan, you can share suggestions that will help our district thrive. For example, participating in the plan means you can ensure that your favorite historical sites will not be taken down, or you can work towards a more sustainable Radnor! Furthermore, the vision aims to address how Radnor’s demographic has changed. So whether you are a new resident or one who has lived here for years, your voice will be heard!
