Balligomingo Road Closures Coming as Aqua PA Digs In

If your morning routine involves cutting through Balligomingo Road in West Conshohocken, you have four days of rerouting to plan around. PennDOT announced on August 11th that Aqua Pennsylvania will be performing utility construction on the road, with closures during work hours across four days. Details, as always, are in the fine print of the announcement.

The closures are only during active work hours, so evenings and mornings should still let commuters and school-bus routes through. Still, if you have a kid heading to camp or a Colonial District facility on the West Conshy side, budget an extra ten minutes. For the full timeline, check the writeup at MoreThanTheCurve.

Meanwhile, over in Plymouth Township, the zoning hearing board resumed the marathon Conshohocken data center case at 900 Conshohocken Road on August 6th to what MoreThanTheCurve described as an almost full house. Norristown is now trying to apply for party status, Plymouth has produced a 43-point list of conditions, and one characterization from the coverage described the developer as demanding approval by tantrum. Whitemarsh Township, watching all this unfold next door, is set to vote on August 13th to advertise its own data center ordinance. When neighboring townships start writing rules at speed, that tells you everything about how the room is reading the situation.

A Card Shop Opens on Ridge Pike, and a Farmers Market With a Sharpening Wheel

Two small but very Conshy items this week. First, an Opening Soon sign is up for The Firm Cards and Collectibles at 115 Ridge Pike, on the Plymouth Township side of town. If you have a kid who has been begging you to sort through a shoebox of Pokemon or baseball cards, a new local shop is worth noting. Details as they come, courtesy of MoreThanTheCurve.

Second, the Conshohocken Farmers Market presented by Velocity Ventures runs Saturday August 15th from 9:00 AM to noon, and this week they are offering knife and garden-blade sharpening. Bring your kitchen dullards and your neglected pruners. It is the kind of practical, slightly old-fashioned service that fits the market perfectly. More at MoreThanTheCurve.

And a quick clarification worth passing along, because the internet is the internet: MoreThanTheCurve has confirmed the Mayor of Conshohocken does not live in a house paid for by the borough. Facebook comments are not, it turns out, a public records office.

ZeroEyes Names a New COO and Aims to Hire 100 Veterans

Conshohocken-based AI security firm ZeroEyes has named a new Chief Operating Officer and laid out plans to add more than 100 veteran hires as part of an expansion push, per MONTCO.Today. The company, founded by former Navy SEALs, uses AI to spot weapons in security-camera feeds. Whatever you think about the direction of AI in public spaces, this one is homegrown, and the hiring pipeline is aimed squarely at veterans. That combination puts it on the community-spotlight page rather than the business page for us.

Warm Days, a Cooler Weekend, and a Borough Fleet Sale

Two quick items for the household clipboard. First, expect temperatures near 90 for the next few days before humidity breaks and a much cooler weekend rolls in, per 6abc AccuWeather. Bring water bottles for camp pickup, keep an eye on the older neighbors, and know that Saturday should feel a lot more human.

Second, on the civic curiosity front, the Borough of Conshohocken has listed two work vehicles for sale online, including a 2000 Ford F-450 dump truck. If you have ever wanted to bid on a piece of borough history, or you just enjoy municipal auction listings the way some people enjoy estate sales, the writeup is at MoreThanTheCurve.
