The Start Of Summer And New Beginnings In Pennsauken
EDITOR’S NOTE: In the print edition of the paper, the date of the Community Service Office Hours hosted by Congressman Norcross’ staff was incorrect. The event will actually be held at the Library on Wednesday, June 21. The date is corrected in the article below. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

The Summer Solstice on June 21 is traditionally celebrated as a “new beginning,” a time to start fresh. The month of June holds quite a few new beginnings for Pennsauken.
Sign, Sign, Everywhere A Sign…
By Betsy McBride, Mayor of Pennsauken Township
I recently received a letter from a resident expressing concern over the number of “No Parking” signs along Haddonfield Rd. She correctly stated that no one parks along this busy four-lane County road. She also correctly stated that when a sign is so faded that you cannot read the words, it is no longer a sign.
She must’ve known that old signs, faded signs, dated signs, and too many signs are a pet peeve of mine.
The Township is 125 years old and we have many signs in our community that are aging. While we cannot replace every street sign in the Township this year, we can and should replace or remove directional or informational signs that no longer serve their intended purpose. Priority should be given to our major roads for curb appeal, but we should also address resident concerns in our neighborhoods.
