ADVOCACY ALERT:
Your comments  needed NOW for PA
Route 41
Dear friends and members of S.A.V.E.,


Until 5pm this Friday, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) is accepting comments on the FY 2013-2016 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for Pennsylvania.

DVRPC alternatives for Route 41 between PA Route 926 and the DE state line include widening and limited realignment. These measures are not adequate to address safety problems and do not incorporate modern traffic calming techniques. Route 41 remains a dangerous roadway with high crash and fatality rates. 

PLEASE COMMENT NOW. The public comment period closes at 5pm Friday, June 1st.

To comment follow these steps:
1. Click on the red comment button below to access the
    DVRPC interactive TIP map.

Sample Comment:

PA Route 41 remains a dangerous roadway. The widening and limited realignment of Route 41 as outlined in TIP MPMS 14484 does not adequately address safety problems and does not incorporate modern traffic calming techniques.

TIP MPMS 14484 should be revised to address safety concerns. Traffic calming should be implemented throughout the Route 41 corridor.

Additionally, the $3.9 million in funds previously slated for construction of a traffic calming roundabout at the intersection of Route 41 and Old Baltimore Pike (2011 TIP MPMS# 14613), should be re-instated to be used for this or other traffic-calming projects within the Route 41 corridor.

Traffic calming in Chatham Village as previously planned is essential. Additionally, a roundabout at the intersections of Routes 41 and 926 in Londonderry Township would provide a safe solution for this dangerous intersection as well as provide traffic calming at a high speed section of Route 41.

Thank you for your help with this important advocacy effort!

Sincerely,
Julie Gardner
Acting Executive Director
