WEST CHESTER, PA — Senior staff at Chester County Prison have finished the FBI Law Enforcement Executive Development Association's Trilogy, a leadership training sequence made up of the Supervisor, Command and Executive Leadership Institutes. The curriculum emphasizes ethical decision-making, organizational leadership, communication and long-term planning for public safety agencies, and it is widely regarded as a leading professional credential in law enforcement and corrections.

Acting Warden Brian Sheller framed the milestone as part of the facility's effort to develop its leaders and better serve both inmates and the wider community. The program is also being extended to mid-level supervisors, with more than 25 corporals, sergeants and lieutenants expected to complete it by the end of the year.

CALN TWP — Regional planners have begun a federally funded safety study of Lincoln Highway between Toth Avenue and Route 340-Bondsville Road, part of a broader effort to reduce traffic deaths on some of the region's most dangerous roads. Residents can share input through an online survey, available in English and Spanish, by May 16.

EAST CALN TWP — East Caln Township officials have called off the community park cleanup that had been scheduled for Saturday, April 25, 2026, pointing to a weather forecast that calls for rain, strong winds and cold temperatures. In a notice to residents, the township thanked volunteers who had planned to take part and said a rescheduled date would be shared in the coming weeks.

UPPER UWCHLAN TWP — A section of Little Conestoga Road in Upper Uwchlan Township will be closed to all traffic beginning Monday, May 4, 2026, to allow for work on the Pennsylvania Turnpike overpass above the roadway. The closure, which is expected to last about 30 days, has been approved through a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation permit and will affect the stretch of road between Green Valley Road and Dominic Drive.

The work is being carried out by contractors for the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, and the road will remain closed 24 hours a day for the duration of the project. Township officials are encouraging drivers who regularly use the corridor to review the contractor's detour map, which has been made available online, and to adjust their routes ahead of the shutdown.
