Talk:New Hope, Pennsylvania
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Much forested
"The area features low, rolling hills, and much is forested. The compact township contains much of the population."
I've lived in New Hope for years, and always thought it was much forested until I saw an aerial photograph of the area. Then I realized that there were only three roads out of town, River Road to the north, River Road to the south, and the main highway leading west. All three were bordered by narrow bands of woodlands, which explained the impression I got, while elsewhere, the area was mostly open fields. I don't know why more town planners and zoning boards don't put such designs into effect. It would make a pleasant improvement almost anywhere. D021317c 08:36, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
