• Is Wayne Commons Doomed To Fail? Proposed Town Square In 'Vision For Wayne' Faces Doubts (patch.com) — Residents in Radnor Township are watching closely as commissioners prepare to vote on a new master plan for Downtown Wayne that features the proposed Wayne Commons town-square park. Supporters say the parklet would create a safer, more walkable hub, while some business owners worry about losing key parking spaces, prompting a delayed construction timeline and a new traffic and parking study.
   

• Radnor Loses Top Philly-Area Spot in Niche's 2027 School District Rankings (delco.today) — Radnor Township School District has lost its longtime title as the top-ranked Philadelphia-area district in Niche's 2027 rankings, dropping from 18th to 60th nationally, though it remains Delaware County's best-rated system. Nearby districts like Tredyffrin-Easttown and Wallingford-Swarthmore surged, reflecting a reshuffling that Radnor parents and homeowners may want to watch closely.
