Boro Plans Cutback On 7
Downtown Parking Meters
By Peggy Frailey
Convinced that traffic flow
improved on Byoad Street
while seven parking meters
along the west side of North
Broad were bagged for a 30-
day trial period, Lititz Boro
Council voted 5-1 Tuesday
night to advertise an or­dinance
to permanently
remove the seven metered
parking spaces.
Councilman Clyde Tshudy
cast the only opposing vote.
Tshudy said he supported a
number of local merchants
who are against eliminating
the parking spaces and
prefer that their use be
restricted to non-peak
periods of traffic.
Tshudy said he talked with
most of the businessmen on
that block of Broad Street,
and that most favored
parking “ restrictions”
during the peak traffic
period from 3 p.m. on, and on
Friday nights, when the
banks are open.
Council had received a
request from the Lititz
Retailers to table the matter
until the retailers could meet
to further discuss the
parking situation. However,
at the urging of Councilman
Wendle Hower, Council went
ahead with its decision to
advertise a new ordinance to
eliminate the parking.
What it gets down to,
Hower said is that the 30-day
trial period proved to
Council that traffic moves
better without the seven
parking spaces.
“We shouldn’t be con­cerned
about whether the
retailers feel it will hurt
business,” Hower said.
Tshudy said that the
retailers’ biggest complaint
is that “the borough keeps
taking parking spaces away
and not replacing them.” He
warned that it’s “getting
worse” and is a potential
hazard.
Hower replied that store
owners can’t expect Boro
Council “to solve their little
problem for them.”
Councilman Bill York,
referring to a parking
survey done in the borough
in 1972, said that Council
should be taking a long
range look at acquiring more
parking for the borough, and
said that Council should
work with the merchants on
this.
Hower’s motion to ad­vertise
the elimination of the
seven parking spaces
passed, and was followed by
a suggestion from Tshudy
that a committee of Coun-cilmen
and merchants to be
d e s ig n a te d to stu d y
acquisition of more parking
areas.
Council also suggested
that merchants consider
opening up their parking lots
for more public parking.
Rezoning
Council set Sept. 26 as the
date for public hearings on
two controversial rezoning
petitions, the Amand tract
on South Cedar Street and
the Hogan tract off Landis
Valley Road.
The Amand hearing will
start at 8 p.m., followed by
the Hogan hearing. They will
be held in Room 105 of
Warwick Middle School.
Amand is requesting
rezoning from Residential R-
1 to R-A, also for apart­ments.
Boro Hall
Remodeling
Renovations on Boro Hall
will begin Monday, Sept. 11
and are scheduled for
completion in six months.
The boro offices will be re­located
temporarily into
Rooms 104 and 105 in A-Wing
of Warwick Middle School.
The borough is renting these
rooms from the school
district for $340 a month for
both rooms. Room 105 will
serve as a meeting room.
The police department will
be temporarily relocated at
the rear of 19 S. Broad St.
(former site of PP&L and
later, of Diehm surveyors).
This building is being leased
for one year at $125 a month.
The police department will
be moved on Thursday, Sept.
7, and the boro offices will be
moved Friday, Sept. 8.
The boro offices will be
closed to counter business on
Friday, Sept. 8. Telephone
business will be conducted
as usual, with the same
telephone number, 626-2044.
The police telephone will
also remain the same, 626-
0231.
Standpipe
Council voted to advertise
A 31-year old Lititz woman
was assaulted Sunday night
by a white male while she
was jogging on the track
around Warwick football
field.
The woman, whose name
was not released by police,
said she was jogging alone at
the north edge of the track
when she heard footsteps
behind her. She turned
around, and a man grabbed
her and indecently assaulted
her, she said.
The woman was not in­jured,
police said. She drove
in her own car to the police
station, where she reported
the incident.
She described her attacker
as a white male, clean
shaven, with dark hair, a
muscular build, between
5’8” and 5’10” , weighing
about 175-190 pounds, and
wearing cotton running
shorts and jogging shoes.
Police are assuming the
man is local because of his
jogging outfit.
for bids on the sale of the
standpipe on Third Avenue.
If and when the standpipe is
sold and removed, the
borough will then advertise
for sale the lot on which the
standpipe is now located.
Speed Limit
Following a petition signed
by 32 residents of the North
Locust Street area, Council
approved 25 mph speed limit
signs and “ children playing”
signs for North Locust Street
between Water and Noble
Street.
Residents said that since
the former unpaved road has
been widened and asphalted,

Home Construction
Starts in Crosswinds
Since 1974, Crosswinds has been a developer's dream, on paper only. With
the completion of the first two-story, L-shaped home sometime this fall, the
project will be on its way to becoming a reality.
“When it’s completed, we
hope it will be the kind to be
written up in a national
m ag a z in e ,” rem a rk ed
Richard Claffey, vice
president of Centerville
C o rp ., d e v e lo p e r of
Crosswinds, a residential
development only recently
off the drawing board and
onto solid ground in south­western
Warwick Township.
The $16 million project,
begun in 1974, and drawn up
by Lititz landscape ar­chitects
McCloud, Scat-chard,
Derek and Edson,
will offer 75 single family
homes, 96 semi-detached
homes, 28 town houses, 30
condominiums, 46 rental
townhouses and 90 garden
apartments, for a total of 365
living units.
Sixth Street
Called an extension, a
bypass, an artery, Sixth
Street has been anticipated
by both Borough and
township residents for years.
With the coming of Cro­sswinds,
located between
Woodcrest Avenue and South
Broad Street, a completed
West Sixth Street will
become a reality in about
three years.
West Sixth Street will
bisect Crosswinds, providing
a thru traffic artery from
Woodcrest Avenue to South
Broad Street, said Claffey.
He explained that only one
or two driveways will lead
onto West Sixth Street, as
developers have attempted
to eliminate as much
congestion as possible along
the thru street.
Two roads will run into
Crosswinds from Woodcrest
Avenue; one street will
intersect at Woodland
Avenue; and one will join at
West Sixth Street to lead
onto South Broad Street.
According to Claffey, the
new development will
provide a second entrance to
the Becker development via
Woodland Avenue; a
township-maintained en­trance
to the Woodridge
Swim Club; and the main
entrance to St. James
Catholic Church.
Time Table
Because it has been in the
works since 1974, Crosswinds
may seem a longtime in the
planning stages. But as Park
Schimp, secretary of Cen­terville
Corp. has stressed,
“great pains” were taken on
all aspects of Crosswinds
planning.
The developers have had
to work very closely with
Wa rwick Township,
designing and redesigning
cul de sacs, street locations
and drainage areas to
conform with zoning
stipulations.
It’s to the credit of both
sides that each has nothing
but praise for the other.
“If all developers we’re as
easy to work with,” said
Warwick Township Zoning
Officer Marvin Feiler, “my
job would be a lot easier. ’ ’
Not to be outdone, Schimp
commented, “It’s easy to
work with a township like
Warwick Township because
they don’t change their
minds (referring to the
guidelines for* township
development).”
But even with a clear
straight-away, Crosswinds
won’t be a completed
development for another
eight to ten years.
The first house - a two-story,
L-shaped home with a
vaulted ceiling - is to be
fully constructed this fall
and will be opened as a
sample home.
Like the other single
family homes in Crosswinds,
the first house will sell in the
