Today's Phoenix:
I share the following fact in the interest of providing complete and balanced information to your readers.
At the April 14 Phoenixville Borough Council meeting, 30 individuals spoke during public participation in regards to the expansion of the Phoenixville Public Library across Second Avenue and up to the existing curb line of Reeves Park. Twenty-two gave addresses in the borough; eight gave addresses in Schuylkill Township.
Among the Phoenixville Borough residents who spoke, 15 spoke in opposition to plans to expand the library, seven spoke in favor.
As the North Ward representative on council, I must note that four of my constituents spoke at the meeting, all in opposition to the current plans.
All eight Schuylkill Township residents who spoke did so in favor of the plans. Four of them are current members of the Phoenixville Public Library Board of Trustees.
