West Chester Weekly News Roundup: June 13, 2025

The easiest way to be in the know.

Upgrade | Hello podcast

It’s Friday, June 13, 2025: This week, we take a closer look at West Chester University’s planned improvement projects, including more student housing, the pedestrianization of Church St. (college speak for closing the street), and proposed property acquisitions along High St. As Borough Manager Sean Metrick put it, “It’s almost a comprehensive plan for a city that lives within this city.” Also, the mystery of the missing Jack’s Corner cafe tables, solved, a Gay Street closure update, and a lasagna-only restaurant opens in West Chester. Garfield must be in heaven somewhere.  

Who’s ready? Let’s catch up.   

Summer School: West Chester University Expansion Plans 

It’s a new day for West Chester University, and while the kids are ditching their backpacks, people, we are going back to school. In a summer-long series, we are going to be digging into the WCU Master Plan, a comprehensive proposal that lays out all the university’s intended upgrades and expansions over the next 10+ years.

The Warnings.

This show had a surprise ending. West Chester Borough Police and Good Fellowship Ambulance responded to an automobile accident on Friday evening that ended with a smashed planter and a car on Uptown Theater’s front lawn.

Call the Uber. You never know when WCPD is watching. According to the West Chester Borough May Police report, thefts, mischief, sex offenses, and DUIs were all up for the month. DUIs rose more than 150 percent, from three arrests in April to 19 in May.  A large part of this was due to a DUI checkpoint that was set up in the Borough on May 17, resulting in 10 DUI arrests.

Daytime garage parkers, your late nights are coming to an end. Last month, West Chester Borough Council unanimously agreed to restrict the parking hours for “daytime” monthly parkers. Under the new regulations, parkers will need to be out of the garages by 6 p.m. or convert to a 24-hour parking pass. Notification to monthly parkers is expected to begin soon. Previously, daytime parkers could remain until 9 p.m. 

It’s time to cut that grass. West Chester Borough and Housing Code enforcement issued 38 warning violations in May. Most of those were for overgrown properties. 

You can’t ride that here. West Goshen Police recently reported getting some complaints regarding kids on scooters, so they shared this handy chart on who can drive what, where. I found the E-Bike classification most surprising. 

Make way for the helicopter.  West Chester Police and Good Fellowship ambulance assisted a PENNSTAR EMS helicopter as it made an emergency landing in the Henderson athletic fields just after midnight last night. “PENNSTAR was required to land at this location due to the helipad at Chester County Hospital being out of service,” a post by Police Information Officer Dave March reads. 

West Goshen cop car totaled. A West Goshen Police Department vehicle was struck by another vehicle around 5 p.m. on Thursday. The accident closed the right lane of 202N and closed the 322 off-ramp

Work crews are back on S. High St. PennDOT announced on Tuesday that their work on High St. would resume this week. The project had stalled while they fixed a drainage issue and waited on West Chester University to complete work in the area. With those issues resolved, they are back at it. Expect lane closures and flagging at least through next Friday. 

Loaded guns and angry drivers prove a lethal combination. This week, State Senator Carolyn Comitta shared that she has reintroduced “Bianca’s Bill” in the State Senate. Named in honor of West Chester teen Bianca Roberson, who was shot and killed in a 2017 road rage incident, the bill would ban gun owners from driving with loaded weapons in their vehicles. “When firearms are involved and readily accessible, a moment of anger or frustration can quickly turn tragic,” Sen. Comitta wrote in her newsletter.

The Accolades.

This week we are celebrating -  continual improvement. Despite a few sessions of intermittent rain, West Chester Borough Parks & Rec hosted another successful Turks Head Music Festival on Sunday. It was a full day of live music, ringing out from a stage set up on the park’s east end. It’s a scene that hasn’t changed much in the last 55 years. 

Dubbed “Little Woostock,” a news clipping of the first event held on May 10, 1970, describes the scene on that first “gloomy Sunday.” “Dogs, babies, young people, and a few older folks gather on the grass before a portable stage… to hear a series of rock groups.” 

The scene last weekend looked pretty much the same as bands as far away as Nashville belted out tunes to day-long crowds estimated to be about 4,000. What has changed besides the size, crowds at the first go-round were closer to 500, is the scope. It’s that scope that has a few members of the Friends of Everhart Park worried, particularly when it comes to the event’s popular food truck section.

“The Friends of Everhart Park asks that the food trucks be moved out of the park and onto a closed street,” FOEP member Dale Frens told me this week. He and his fellow nonprofit park stewards plan to make a petition to the Borough’s Parks and Rec Committee to have the trucks moved out of the park and off the tree roots before next year’s festival.

“The damage is really invisible,” he says of the impact of having the trucks, which can weigh upward of 8,000 lbs, on the root system of a 100-year-old tree. Fortunately, the fix is a simple one - move the trucks to Union or Brandywine St. 

 “No other parks allow food trucks on the grounds,” he said. It is true. That is where you will find the trucks during Marshall Square Park’s summer concert series. “I think this would be a nice improvement and an important one,” he added. 

Next Recreation Committee meeting is June 25. 

Other things were celebrating this week: 

Cheers to a great run. For the last several weeks, West Chester East’s softball team has played like the little engine that could, taking out one higher-ranked team after another. Their win streak continued last week, beating first Cardinal O’Hara, and then Springfield (Delco), to advance to the semi-finals of the PIAA 5A State Softball Championship. Unfortunately, that is where it would end for the Vikings. On a field in Hershey, against a hard-hitting Greencastle-Antrim team, the Vikings lost a little off their swings and the energy to chug up that hill one more time. “At the end of the day, Greencastle hit the ball well, and we simply didn’t. Kudos to them—they’re a great team,”  West Chester East Coach Bobby Swier told the Daily Local after the 13-0 loss. Still, it’s an impressive run - just a game shy of the state championship, one of the top four teams in the state, and a chance to do it all again. The Vikings graduated just two seniors this year - Daria Cross and Lauren Maguire. Congratulations, girls! You were fun to follow! 

Speaking of great runs, cheers to the St. Agnes Boys’ Varsity Baseball Team (that’s eighth grade for those of you not versed in CYO vernacular). The boys brought home the Archdiocese of Philadelphia Championship Trophy last week after two epic victories. The drama started in the AOP semi-finals, when the Stags took 14 innings and two nights to beat St. Anastasia, but beat them they did, securing a 6-5 win in the bottom of the 14th. Two days later, they faced St. Richard’s of Philadelphia in the finals. The boys scored two runs in the last inning to cap a come-from-behind victory that not only secured the title but tied a nice little bow on their undefeated season. Congratulations to Coach Micha Lynn and the Stags.

And here’s one more cheer-worthy run for you, Good Fellowship Ambulance just picked up its eighth EMS Gold Achievement award from the American Heart Association. The annual honor represents the AHA’s highest level of recognition for excellence in emergency cardiovascular and stroke care. Good to know we’re in good hands should we need it. 

(Speaking of urgent care, I am still collecting ER experiences. If you have been recently and have insights, or if you work either in the ER or maybe, deliver patients there, I’d love to hear your experiences as well. [email protected]) 

Nature walks.  For the past six months, West Chester University biology professor Sofía Martínez-Villalpando has been working with YouTube's 'Biologist Apprentice' on a four-part video series about the Gordon Natural Area and its wildlife. Watch the first episode (and get inspired to take a nature walk) here. 

Tin anniversaries. Finally, this week, congratulations to Saloon 151 on 10 years on Gay St. Stop by on Sunday and hoist a pint in their honor (and maybe pick up a half-priced gift card while you’re there). 

Curious why some events are covered and others not? Most likely because someone let me know they were happening. Have a shout-out? Let me know at [email protected] or fill out this handy form.

The Freakin’ Weekend.

What are you up to this weekend? We are celebrating. We have made it. The school year has ended - all the books, instruments, etc. returned, the field trips taken, the backpacks cleared, the papers dumped, the parties partied,  and we are officially on vacation! (At least I will be once this hits your inbox.) 

That is also to say there will be no Roundup next week, but I’ll be back for all the exciting conclusions on June  27.

If you are hanging around this weekend, a lot is going on. West Chester Public Library is holding its summer reading kick-off party on Saturday. Register the kiddo for a summer of reading fun and stick around for the face painting, games, and other outdoor festivities. The kick-off party is held at Barclay Park. Also, on Saturday, Habitat for Humanity Chester County is hosting its Hops for Homes, beerfest event at Chester County Art Association, with an after party up the street at Wrong Crowd, and Shakespeare is coming to West Goshen Community Park. This year’s performance is All’s Well That Ends Well, which is pretty much my theme for this week. The performance is free and starts at 6 p.m. 

Finally, special thanks to this week’s Community Sponsor, Hazley Builders. Hazley Builders is an architect-led, Design + Build with decades of experience in the West Chester area.  Check out their website to learn more about what they do.
