| View in browser June 2024   Hi there,   To all of the Dads in the community, Happy Father's Day weekend.   Congratulations! Katie, Nate, and Peyton in #33 on the birth of their son/brother, Hudson!     Update on 7330 Ridge Development Project   Per the announcement we received in the mail, the developers of 7330 Ridge Avenue presented details on their vision for that lot via Zoom on June 11. They had originally developed plans for a ~48-unit apartment building and downsized that to 24 townhomes. The current proposal is for 20 townhomes with parking.   There will be four buildings with five units each. Each unit will have a garage, a patio in the back, and a roof deck. In front of the buildings will be an additional 25 parking spaces. The buildings will be covered in Wissahickon Schist (similar to units #1 and #40). Between us and 7330 will be a line of evergreens. Of the three big shade trees currently fronting the property, the one in the middle will come down (it's sick according to an arborist report). Plans include keeping the other two trees. Everything else will go.   Pushback on the call addressed: Reducing the number of units Having the end units face Ridge to match the look/feel of the neighborhood Adding buffer trees between the units and the properties alongside the development Pushing the start of the buildings back to match where other buildings along the street start Stormwater and sewer systems stress Next steps: The developer will regroup and consider changes based on the feedback from the meeting.  Next, the developer will present these changes to the Ridge Park Civic Association and Upper Roxborough Civic Association via Zoom. Finally, the developer will go to the Zoning Board for a decision.   Here is the link to the City of Philadelphia Zoning Board of Adjustments Appeal. The meeting is scheduled for August 7 at 2 PM. Backyard Birding Are you interested in learning more about the birds in your backyard? If yes, check out a free app from Cornell called Merlin. It helps you identify birds by recording their sounds or you can search visually.   Announcements to Share/Vendors You Like If you have vendors you endorse, let us know so we can add them to the Roxborough Reserve Resources page.

It's kid-, stroller- and pet-friendly. You'll find views of Center City, a fun sitting area (below), as well as a picnic table. The Upper Roxborough Reservoir is peaceful all year round. The roundtrip itinerary below is approximately 2.9 miles. The benefit of taking the longer approach is fewer cars/less noise.   Once you get to the reservoir entrance at Port Royal and Lare, there's a ramp. Happening in the Neighborhood!
