Please see attached message regarding electric scooters and e-bikes in the Township parks. Please review the Township Code Chapters and talk to your children about this. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out.

🚨 Reminder from East Brandywine Township Parks 🚨

As the weather gets warmer and more residents head outdoors, we'd like to remind everyone that electric scooters and e-bikes are not permitted in Township parks pursuant to Township Code Chapters 182 and 241.

Our parks and trails are shared spaces designed for pedestrians, families, children, and passive recreation. Restricting motorized devices helps promote safety, protect park infrastructure, and ensure an enjoyable experience for all visitors.

Please help us keep our parks safe by:
✅ Walking bicycles where required
✅ Following all posted park rules

❌ Leaving electric scooters and e-bikes outside the park

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us preserve our parks for everyone to enjoy!

Today, Chief Yankanich had the honor of attending and speaking at the BAPS Charities Walk|Run, which is a nationwide annual fundraising event organized by BAPS Charities. The event supports community programs focused on health awareness, education, humanitarian relief, environmental protection, and community empowerment, along with dozens of local beneficiaries such as first responders, schools, food banks, and healthcare organizations. We always appreciate the support that the BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir in Downingtown, PA has for our first responders.

🚨🚨🚨BRIDGE CLOSURE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY🚨🚨🚨

We will update once more information is received.

We have just been informed by the Chester County bridge department that the North Reeds Road bridge (off of Rt. 282/Creek Road) over the Brandywine Creek was inspected today and as a result of that inspection, it was determined that the bridge needed to be closed immediately. We have limited information at this time, and are working to obtain additional details such as the duration of the closure and the plan moving forward, but we wanted to share what we know currently as quickly as possible. Traffic should use the Lyndell Road bridge instead. We will provide additional details as soon as they are available.
