LOWER MERION Several former and current Lower Merion commissioners and community members came out to wish an online goodbye for the four decades of service Bob Duncan gave to Lower Merion Township.
âAfter 40 years of service, our assistant manager has finally found the keys to the back door, and he plans to leave to retire,â Dan Bernheim, president of the Lower Merion Board of Commissioners, said.
Duncan, who most recently served as the townshipâs assist manager, announced a few weeks ago he would be retiring. The township has already hired Jim Smith, who most recently was the senior manager in Sarasota, Florida, and also served as borough manager in Media, Delaware County, for 20 years.

This week, Lower Merion commissioners approved a resolution giving support to two legislative bills that would make changes to how local police can regulate speeders.
The commissioners approved a resolution supporting House Bill 606 and Senate Bill 419 to allow the local police to use the same speed timing equipment as state police.
Dan Bernheim, board president, said speeding remains one of the major complaints the commissioners receive from residents.
âIn working with representatives in Harrisburg in order to persuade them to allow our police force to be able to utilize radar as a method of tracking traffic, so that we could enforce our speeding laws and help convince people to slow down. It remains one of the major complaints that we all receive,â Bernheim said.

The road has a forested view with a handful of beautiful homes and the only driveway leading into Rolling Hill Park.
But township officials say there is a hidden danger on the road, and they want to address it.

That danger is that it is unsafe for pedestrians. Still, nearby residents say itâs been used for walking and biking for a long time. That pedestrian use has only increased over the past year as government-ordered pandemic lockdowns have taken hold.
