Update March 17, 2013: The bank will not open in March.

East Whiteland Board of Supervisors approved a revised master plan.
Uptown Worthington is moving forward, but with different trees. After approving a preliminary plan in October, the East Whiteland Board of Supervisors granted conditional approval to a revised master plan at its Nov. 14 business meeting.

Uptown Worthington will include over 1,700 new trees, according to Lou Colagreco, a land use lawyer representing O'Neill Properties. But the outdated township ordinance specifies tree species that are susceptible to disease, are not marketed locally or are incongruous with the project, Colagreco said. The Board of Supervisors approved the plan with waivers, subject to recommendations …

Board Chair Virginia McMichael had previously recused herself from voting on Uptown …

PennDOT replies to a Malvern Patch reader's safety concerns.
Have you had a close encounter with another vehicle as you exited Uptown Worthington onto Matthews Road? One Malvern Patch reader says the intersection, which is still under construction, is dangerous. A PennDOT spokesman said the finished intersection will have two protected turn lanes. Read the full exchange below: Patch reader Norma wrote: I would hope that the traffic light coming out of the Wegmans exit from Downtown Worthington could be modified, so that there is a left turn arrow heading from the parking lot into Matthews Road (towards Wawa and Ruby Tuesday's). Traffic comes off of 202 pretty rapidly and many people don't stop (or even know to slow down) to see if anyone is trying to left turn from Wegmans. It's a hazardous …
