The atlas was designed to identifY those factors which facilitate or limit reconstruction of the highway and to aid in the design and evaluation of proposed highway and transit improvements and strategies for the l-95 canidaI'. The atlas was produced by DVRPC for PennDOT as pmt of the 1-95 Intermodal Mobility Project 17le report contains four series of maps, each focusing on a different set of features which may affect or influence improvement strategies. 17le map series are called: design features, adjacent land use, cun·en! and programmed transportation improvements, and natural and cultural environment. Each series of maps is comprised of 18 segment maps, each of which depicts an area of just over a mile in width (about one-half mile on either side of J- 95) and approximately three miles in length. Each of the series of maps is shown on the same base, which show north and southbound l-95, the configuration of ramps at interchanges, and other prominent features such as nearby rail lines and large streams.

The authors, however, are solely responsible for its finding and conclusions, which may not represent the official views or policies of the funding agencies. Created in 1965, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) is an interstate, intercounty and intercity agency which provides continuing, comprehensive and coordinated planning for the orderly growth and development of the Delaware Valley region. The region includes Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties as well as the City of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Mercer counties in New Jersey. The Commission is an advisory agency which divides its planning and service functions among the Office of the Executive Director, the Office of Public Affairs, and four line Divisions: Transportation Planning, Regional Information Services Center, Strategic Planning, and Finance and Administration. DVRPC's mission for the 1990s is to emphasize technical assistance and services and to conduct high priority studies for member state and local governments, while determining and meeting the needs of the private sector. The DVRPC logo is adapted from the official seal of the Commission and is designed as a stylized image of the Delaware Valley. The outer ring symbolizes the region as a whole while the diagonal bar signifies the Delaware River flowing through it. The two adjoining crescents represent the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New Jersey. The logo combines these elements to depict the areas served by DVRPC. 1-95 Intermodal Mobility Project Resources and Constraints Page i TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction ..................................................... 1 Design Features ................................................... 5 Adjacent Land Use ................................................ 25 Current and Programmed Transportation Projects .......................... 45 Natural and Cultural Environment . .. 65 Appendix .................................................... 85 1-95lntermodal Mobility Project Resources and Constraints Page 1 INTRODUCTION The 1-95 Resources and Constraints document is an atlas of 1-95 in Pennsylvania locating those factors which facilitate or limit the planned improvement of the highway. Eighteen maps cover the study area, 17 of which lie along 1-95, and one of which covers the Pennsylvania Turnpike (1-276) from the point where it crosses 1-95 to the Delaware River Bridge. The inclusion of the portion of the Turnpike anticipates completion of an interchange with 1-95 and redesignation of 1-95 on the Pennsylvania and New Jersey Turnpikes. The maps cover an area of just over a mile in width (about one-half mile on either side of 1- 95) and approximately three miles in length. The sequence and orientation of the maps is shown in Figure I. The scale chosen for the maps is 1" = 2000', the same as United States Geological Survey (USGS) and DVRPC 7~ minute quadrangle maps, as well as the popular book atlases of the region published by ADC. There are four series of maps, each focusing on a different set of features which may affect or influence improvement strategies for 1-95. The four series are: Design features Adjacent land use Current and programmed transportation improvements Natural and cultural environment Base Maps Each of the series of maps is shown on the same base, which show the northbound and southbound roadways of 1-95 and the configuration of ramps at interchanges. Off of 1-95, the maps show all state highways and selected local roads, including all roads which cross 1-95. All passenger railroads and stations, and major freight railroads are displayed. Large streams, county and state boundaries and important sites in the corridor are also shown. Design Features Series The design features series of maps shows as-built conditions which offer either opportunities or limitations to changes in the configuration of the highway. The major characteristics referenced include: • number of lanes on 1-95, • right-of-way width, • median width, • width and length of structures which carry 1-95, and • clearance between supports of bridges over 1-95.

Broad categories, which reflect factors such as the relative difficulty of acquisition or the need for noise control, are used. In addition, special conditions which apply to some parcels are shown. Identification of the larger vacant parcels, over 10 acres, is also made. Current and Programmed Transportation Projects Series The transportation projects series shows the location of highway and public transportation projects which are programmed or under construction. The implementation of these projects can be assumed on the schedules indicated when planning for additional improvements. Natural and Cultural Environment Series Lastly, the natural and cultural environment series shows significant natural and historic features in the 1-95 corridor. The features shown include: • location of historic features on the National Register or eligible for it, • 1DO-year flood plains mapped by NE!tional Flood Insurance Program, and • wetlands mapped in the National Wetlands Inventory. Appendix The appendix contains tabulations of some additional information which may be useful in the formulation of improvements to 1.:95: Construction Drawings Available at District 6-0 Beginning and end mileage points and section designations are listed to assist in the search for construction drawings available at Penn DOT. Transit Routes Serving the 1-95 Corridor Transit routes, their terminuses and the midday frequency of service are listed.

We believe that it satisfies the Grant conditions; containing: the Market Analysis, Value Capture, establishment of a viable TRID Boundary, and the Draft Agreement to effect the TRIO area and program. In addition, it is in conformance with the original Requ est for Proposals, and has been reviewed by the Key Stakeholders working group, and other key agencies having a say on TRID, including SEPTA, the Bucks TMA, the BCRDA, Bucks County, DVRPC, area legislators, and members of the public through their input at various stages. We (Pennoni Asso ciates Inc., and Economic Development Associates) look forward to an opportunity to assist in subsequent phases of implementation of this cha llenging and worthy undertaking for the citizens/residents of Croydon and the Township in a program that ca n induce additional mass transit SEPTA ridership, and tax revenues from future development and red evelopment as revitalization occurs over time.
