Etc/GMT-5

So, after the Conshohocken Fire, will Lower Merion Township take any additional precautions with these projects for Rock Hill Road? Or will it be business as usual in Lower Merion Township? And what of this project in Ardmore? Isn't this the one that got bounced before due to something about fire trucks needing more room?

I encourage citizens to attend and comment at this meeting.

I am wondering if Philadelphia area media will pack this meeting considering the O'Neill fire in Conshohocken and all? Speaking of the O'Neill fire, check this out:

Claims negligence worsened losses of companies and their clients
By: MARGARET GIBBONS, Times Herald Staff09/05/2008

COURTHOUSE - Insurance companies now are jumping into the litigation surrounding the catastrophic fire....Four major insurance companies, which insured tenants' property and/or vehicles, have filed a lawsuit in Montgomery County Court seeking compensation for damages that they and their clients sustained....The damages sustained by their clients include losses of personal and business property, vehicle damage and expenses for alternative living arrangements, according to the lawsuit.

The four companies, which are represented by the Law Offices of Robert A. Stutman in Fort Washington, already have received a combined 117 in claims, according to the lawsuit. The four insurance companies are: Harleysville Mutual Insurance Co., State Farm, Travco Insurance Co. and USAA Casualty Insurance Co.

This is the third lawsuit filed in Montgomery County Court in connection with the fire that destroyed two occupied Riverwalk apartment buildings and the unoccupied The Stables apartment building that was under construction.

The other two lawsuits seek class action status to represent the tenants of the destroyed apartment buildings.

As in the first two lawsuits, the defendants named in the insurance companies' lawsuit are: O'Neill Properties Group of King of Prussia, the developer and former owner of the Riverwalk buildings and the developer of the under-construction Stables apartment building; Merion Construction Inc. of Bala Cynwyd and L21 Construction Managers of Leesport, Pa., both of which are listed as construction managers/general contractors for The Stables building; Cavan Construction of Aston, Pa
