The Marple Township Board of Commissioners will consider rescinding Ordinance 2017-13, which regulates the planting, growing and maintenance of bamboo, under a proposed Ordinance 2025-4. The measure would remove all provisions of Chapter 214, Article III, of the Property Maintenance Code, including rules on existing bamboo, replanting prohibitions and associated penalties, and repeal any conflicting ordinances. The ordinance is set to take effect immediately upon approval. The board will review and may act on the proposal during its regular meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 10, at 7 p.m. at the Marple Township Municipal Building, 227 S. Sproul Road, Broomall.
