Bucks County Rail Station Visibility Enhancement Analysis – Trenton/Warminster Regional Rail Lines

Introduction

Ongoing concerns with fuel costs and a need to create and retain quality jobs have resulted in more attention being paid to public transportation. For employers, public transportation affords greater recruitment and retention potential for quality workers. For citizens, public transportation reduces vehicle traffic, improves air quality, and provides an appealing commuting alternative to driving. Numerous studies have shown that public transportation increases property values and improves quality of life in the communities it serves.

Many communities in central and lower Bucks County benefit from the presence of SEPTA’s Regional Rail System. Residents enjoy a car-free commute to jobs in older suburbs and the city of , and local employers are able to recruit workers from throughout the system. Through work with host communities to improve access to transit from its businesses and residences, this project will expand upon efforts by SEPTA to improve its infrastructure and ridership.

This report seeks to both complement and augment ongoing and future work by SEPTA’s planning and marketing departments to increase attractiveness, visibility, and utilization of transit facilities in Bucks County by recommending and pursuing strategies and opportunities in those areas outside of SEPTA’s direct control.

Bucks County Planning Commission and TMA Bucks staff performed a thorough examination and assessment of the communities surrounding the Warminster and Trenton Regional Rail lines operating within Bucks County. This evaluation will consider existing conditions in each community and identify improvements that, if implemented, will likely prove beneficial for current and new SEPTA patrons. Emphasis was placed upon safety related issues (e.g., sidewalks, crosswalks, signage, etc.), as well as improvements that could increase community awareness and familiarity with the SEPTA system.

Methodology

The first step in the evaluation of each station was to print out aerial photography of each station and the surrounding area. Staff from TMA Bucks and Bucks County Planning Commission then visually inspected each station area focusing on areas leading to the station itself. For stations that were especially attractive for Bucks County Regional Rail Station Visibility Enhancement Analysis – Trenton/Warminster Regional Rail Lines 1

pedestrians, staff walked those areas taking careful notes and photographs to document their findings. For stations that were deemed to be automobile-oriented, staff drove the areas surrounding the station taking special care to note existing signage, as well as areas where signage could be improved. One of the key findings of the reconnaissance work was that the existing signage surrounding the stations was for the most part, outdated and lacked details on the station itself, such as distance to station from sign and which rail line the station served.

Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority

Public transit plays an essential role in Bucks County’s transportation system. The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) provides public transportation service linking Philadelphia and the surrounding counties with an integrated network of over 200 and rail transit routes. SEPTA's Regional Rail Division (RRD) operates seven electrified routes to over 150 stations in Pennsylvania, and . There are 52 stations in the city of Philadelphia, 41 are in Montgomery County, 29 are in Delaware County, 15 are in Bucks County, 10 are in Chester County, four are in the State of Delaware and two are in New Jersey. In 2011, the total annual ridership on the SEPTA Regional Rail System was 35.8 million passengers with daily passengers averaging 125,155 every weekday, 41,381 every Saturday, and 29,260 every Sunday.

Bucks County is served by four SEPTA Regional Rail routes which provide service to 15 rail stations. The Warminster Regional Rail Line provides rail passenger service from Warminster Township in the area of Ivyland Borough to Jenkintown and central Philadelphia and serves one station (Warminster Station) in the County. The Lansdale/Doylestown Regional Rail Line provides rail service from central Philadelphia, through Lansdale in Montgomery County before ending in Doylestown Borough. Stations located in the County along this line include Chalfont, New Britain, Doylestown College and Doylestown. The West Trenton Regional Rail Line provides rail service from central Philadelphia through the townships of Lower Southampton, Bensalem, Middletown and Lower Makefield. The line continues through the borough of Yardley and ends in Mercer County, New Jersey. Stations located in the County along this line include Yardley, Woodbourne, Langhorne, Neshaminy Falls and Trevose. The southernmost line to serve Bucks County is the Trenton Regional Rail Line. This line starts in central Philadelphia and traverses the townships of Bensalem, Bristol and Falls before ending in Trenton, New Jersey. Stations located in the County along this line include Cornwell Heights, Eddington, Croydon, Bristol and Levittown. This line utilizes ’s tracks.

Cornwells Heights Station

Cornwells Heights Station is the first stop in Bucks County along the Trenton Regional Rail Line. It is located along Station Avenue near Interstate 95 in Bensalem Township. The station is located in the southern portion of the township. This station is also served by Amtrak’s . Passengers board and alight at Cornwells Heights Station at high-level platforms with several open shelters. SEPTA leases the station from Amtrak and maintains its own enclosed wooden building on the platform that seats approximately 15 passengers. The station contains a ticket office and restrooms.

The station is located adjacent to a very large park and ride facility. The park and ride lot contains 1,600 spaces and was built by PennDOT in anticipation of the reconstruction of Interstate 95. It is the largest park and ride station in the entire SEPTA system. SEPTA operates bus shuttles from the park and ride lot to the during peak hours.

Findings for Cornwells Heights Station Area

The station is located at along Station Avenue near Bristol Pike in Bensalem Township. The station facilities are well-maintained. The station is located within an area of the township consisting of industrial uses, with some residential uses nearby. Parking can be found at the station and at the PennDOT-owned park and ride facility. SEPTA currently operates shuttle from the park and ride facility during peak hours. Sidewalks and a tunnel under the rail line and under Interstate 95 allow for access for those residential uses on the northern side of the station and Interstate 95. However, sidewalk facilities are inconsistent south of the station along Station Avenue.

The existing signage directing users to Cornwells Heights Station was found to be sufficient, but could be improved. Three signs were found along southbound Interstate 95 directing motorists to the PennDOT Park and Ride and SEPTA station. The first was a large green sign just before the Street Road off-ramp. The second was also a large green sign approximately one mile before the Woodhaven Road interchange. The third large green sign was located just before the dedicated left-exit lane which serves the park and ride. The fourth sign on Interstate 95 is on the ramp from Route 63 to the Park and Ride. None of the signs indicated that this station also serves Amtrak. During the team’s research, the third and fourth signs appeared to be faded and the paint was worn on certain portions of the sign. Other smaller signs were found along U.S. Route 13 and State Road. These signs have recently been repainted.

Recommendations for Cornwells Heights Station Area

Given the proximity of residential development surrounding the station, the provision of pedestrian facilities is extremely important. There are some sidewalks along Station Avenue. However, there a missing gaps in the sidewalk system that could increase pedestrian activity at the station. Therefore, if efforts are made in the future to improve the roadways surrounding the station, completing the pedestrian facilities linking the station to the residential development to the station should be included in these efforts.

The station currently benefits by a robust amount of signage directing motorists to the station. However, some of this signage is worn and faded and could be improved by adding additional information. Most importantly, the Cornwells Heights Station is the only rail station in Bucks County which provides access to the Amtrak’s Keystone Service. This information should be included on the signs. Also, while there are numerous signs directly motorists to a “Park and Ride”, the signs do not indicate that train service from SEPTA and Amtrak is available. The existing signage is shown in Figure CH2. Figures CH3, CH4, CH5, CH6, CH7, CH8, CH9, CH10, CH11, CH12 and CH13 depict the existing signage and potential improvements to the signs themselves that make them more appealing and informative. SEPTA has recently updated their signage leading to the rail stations. The proposed enhancements to the signs mainly consist of updating the rail station logo and providing more information about the station itself. The recently designed signs could be added the existing PennDOT signs at the State Road/Station Avenue and US Route 13/Station Avenue intersections.

Suggested improvements are:

• Add new SEPTA and Amtrak signs to existing signs; • Perform vegetation removal near sign on northbound State Road near Station Avenue; • Construct missing gaps in sidewalks near station.

Eddington Station

Eddington Station is the second stop in Bucks County along the Trenton Regional Rail Line outbound from Philadelphia. It is located at Street Road and Dunks Road in Bensalem Township. The station is located in the southern portion of the township, near Interstate 95. Station facilities serving riders are minimal. Pedestrian access is provided via stairs leading down to the station from Street Road. The use of this station appears to be mostly reverse commuters from Philadelphia using the transit system to get to jobs at the nearby industrial facility.

Bucks County Regional Rail Station Visibility Enhancement Analysis – Trenton/Warminster Regional Rail Lines 19

Findings for Eddington Station Area

The station is located near Street Road in Bensalem Township. There are two small station buildings, one on each side of the tracks. This station serves almost exclusively reverse commuters since there are no parking facilities for the station. The main pedestrian facilities are via stairways from Street Road down to the tracks located below the Street Road overpass. Other pedestrian facilities serving the station consist of poorly-maintained accessway from the parking lot of a business located along Dunk’s Ferry Road. Sidewalks along Street Road are insufficient in that the sidewalk ends after the southernmost stair entrance to the station. Sidewalks do exist along westbound Street Road and access to U.S. Route 13 via a set of stairs which can be accessed by crossing the Interstate 95 off-ramp. However, there are no pedestrian crossing markings at any of the crossings along Street Road. Furthermore, this area of Street Road is extremely busy at most hours of the day not only with cars, but with heavy trucks. This produces an extremely dangerous area for pedestrians.

The existing signage directing users to Eddington Station was found to be minimal. One sign was found at each stair entrance on Street Road. However, given the lack of parking facilities, overall lack of potential ridership and dangerous pedestrian conditions around the station, no additional signage is recommended at this point.

Croydon Station

Croydon Station is the third stop along the Trenton Regional Rail Line in Bucks County from Center City, Philadelphia. It is located at Cedar Avenue and Bristol Pike (U.S. Route 13) in Bristol Township. The station building was rebuilt by SEPTA in 2011. Improvements to station included new passenger shelters, high level platforms, additional parking, a new lighting system and new storm water management. The intersection of Cedar Avenue and Bristol Pike was also improved as part of the station rehabilitation.

Findings for Croydon Station Area

Croydon Station is located along U.S Route 13 in Bristol Township. The station facilities are well- maintained and aesthetically pleasing. Overall, the station is very appealing to riders. This station is a combination of drive-up riders and walk up riders. The Croydon setting provides a great opportunity for walk-up use of the station. In addition, the provision of an abundance of parking is appealing to drive-up users as well.

Pedestrian access to the station from the north is fairly good. Sidewalks currently exist north of the station along Bristol Pike. There are crosswalks at the Newportville Road and Walnut Avenue intersections which allow pedestrians to safely cross Bristol Pike. In addition, sidewalks currently exist within the neighborhoods north of the station.

Pedestrian access to the station from south of the station is less appealing. Most of the area immediately to the south contains residential uses, with some non-residential uses intermingled. Sidewalks do not exist within the area south of the station, which would force any potential transit riders to use the roadways to access the station. It should be noted that most of the roads south of the station are typically low-volume roadways. Therefore, the provision of sidewalks in this area may not be justified at this point.

The existing signage directing users to Croydon Station was found to be insufficient. Other than the station signs found directly within the station area and one sign along southbound State Road at the Cedar Avenue intersection, no other signs were found alerting motorists of the train station location prior to the station itself.

The proposed enhancements to the signs mainly consist of updating the rail station logo and providing more information about the station itself. Figure C2 depicts the locations of the existing and proposed signage around the station. Figures C3, C4, C5, C6, C7 and C8 depict the existing signage and potential improvements to the signs. The newly designed signs could be installed at the Bristol Pike/Neshaminy Road and Bristol Pike/Janet Avenue intersections.

Suggested sign placement or replacement locations are:

Bristol Station

Bristol Station is located at Beaver Street and Prospect Street in Bristol Borough along the Trenton Regional Rail Line. Bristol Borough was first incorporated in 1720, which makes it one of the oldest boroughs in the state of Pennsylvania. The borough also served as the County Seat until 1725. The introduction of the rail line to the borough in 1834 secured the borough’s fate as a major destination for industry in the 19th and early 20th Centuries. Bristol’s proximity to the and a major shipping route in the form of the Delaware Canal had made it an attractive place for businesses. The borough has a history of attracting a diverse population of residents.

Findings for Bristol Station Area

Bristol Station is located in Bristol Borough. The station facilities are well-maintained and aesthetically pleasing. Overall, the station is appealing to riders. This station is unlike most “borough” stations, in that, there is an ample supply of parking with nearly 300 spaces available. The station is also pedestrian friendly in that sidewalks connect the station to fairly dense residential development to the north and south of the station.

Since many of the users of the station arrive by vehicle, the provision of adequate signage is of utmost importance. The existing signage directing users to Bristol Station was found to be insufficient and appeared to worn and outdated. Four signs were found alerting motorists of the train station location. However, all four signs were within direct proximity of the station itself.

Recommendations for Bristol Station Area

Since Bristol Station is located within a fairly dense residential area in the borough, adequate pedestrian facilities are extremely important to attract ridership. However, since about half of the ridership comes from vehicles parking at the station, recommendations to improve ridership related to automobile users’ needs are also necessary.

Because many of the users of the station are doing so via automobiles, improved signage could help to attract new riders. SEPTA has recently updated their signage leading to the rail stations. The proposed enhancements to the signs mainly consist of updating the rail station logo and providing more information about the station itself. Figure B2 depicts the locations of the existing and proposed signs. Figures B3, B4, B5, B6, B7 and B8 depict the existing signage and potential improvements to the signs themselves that make them more appealing and informative.

Levittown Station

Levittown Station is the last stop in Pennsylvania along the Trenton Regional Rail Line. It is located at Bristol Pike and Levittown Parkway in Tullytown Borough. The current station was built by the in the 1950’s. SEPTA is in the process of designing a new station layout. Proposed improvements include a new station building, high level platforms, a new intersection with Fallsington Avenue, reconstruction of the parking areas and a safe, convenient pedestrian bridge connecting the inbound and outbound platforms with an elevator and stair access. In addition to the parking lot reconstruction, there will be drainage work, utility relocations and assorted demolition.

PennDOT is currently rehabilitating U.S Route 13 in the area of the station. Their schedule is to complete their work near the station in the fall of 2014. SEPTA’s reconstruction efforts will begin once PennDOT has completed their work. As part of their rehabilitation efforts, PennDOT will vacate the existing jughandle for Levittown Parkway back to Amtrak after the left turn lanes are installed on U.S. Route 13. SEPTA will utilize the land that is currently the Levittown Parkway jughandle to reconstruct the southern inbound parking lot. PennDOT is installing new signals at Levittown Parkway and SEPTA has coordinated with PennDOT to ensure that the new locations of the traffic lights are compatible with SEPTA’s planned construction.

Findings for Levittown Station Area

The station is located in Tullytown Borough along U.S. Route 13 near the Levittown Shopping Center. The station facilities are in poor condition. However, SEPTA will begin reconstruction of the entire station in the near future.

Opened in 1953 to provide commuter rail service to Trenton and Philadelphia for the then-new Levittown development, Levittown Station (at times also known as Levittown-Tullytown Station) is clearly intended to be accessed by automobile, whether the commuter drives to the station and parks or is driven there by someone, as would have been commonplace in the single-car, single- breadwinner households of the 1950s. While portions of adjacent Tullytown Borough and nearby commerce centers are within walking distance of the station, it remains almost exclusively a park-and- ride facility. Amtrak provided service to the station in the past, but no longer stops there.

No directional signage could be located for Levittown Station in the course of site visits, though the actual station sign is clearly visible from US Route 13. Installation of signage as part of improvements to US Route 13 and/or upcoming renovations to the station itself will greatly increase station visibility, particularly for those unfamiliar with the area.

Recommendations for Levittown Station Area

Levittown Station’s location relative to the communities of Levittown leaves virtually no opportunity for improving pedestrian use of the station for those to the west of US Route 13. While any improvements to pedestrian access from the west side of Route 13 are desirable, they are unlikely to attract new pedestrian users to the station. There may be increased bicycle traffic to the station if safe crossings are available, but this has not been analyzed in the scope of this project. The preferred access method will likely continue to be the automobile, as most of the recommendations made here will reflect.

Signage providing direction to the train station could not be located as part of this evaluation. Given the large number of residences within a short drive of Levittown Station, provision of signage along arterial roadways within the community (such as Levittown Parkway) that direct traffic toward the train station will provide consistent reminders of the presence of rail service to residents, workers, and visitors. Signs along the US Route 13 corridor will further aid in promoting the station and clearly indicate its presence to commuters. Improvement projects on US Route 13 and at the train station itself provide excellent opportunities to install new signs directing users to this station.

In the portion of Tullytown Borough lying east of US Route 13, pedestrian traffic to and from Levittown Station via Oxford Avenue is both practical and probable given the close proximity of residences and businesses and the ability to safely access the station without crossing US Route 13. Smaller directional signage within the Borough directing pedestrians and cyclists to the station will promote this community asset to those who live and work in the borough and highlight a “green” alternative to driving to the station.

Since this station is scheduled to undergo a complete reconstruction, it is unclear at this point which recommendations will be necessary once the station is completed. Therefore, once reconstruction of the station is complete, the station will be evaluated for potential signage improvements.

Warminster Regional Rail Line

The Warminster Regional Rail Line connects Center City, Philadelphia with Warminster Township, Bucks County. This line use the SEPTA Main Line between Center City and Glenside. From Glenside, the line branches off onto its own line to Hatboro on its way to Warminster. The majority of weekday and all weekend trains operate through Center City and continue on to serve the Philadelphia International Airport.

Warminster Station

Warminster Station is the final station stop for outbound trains from Philadelphia. It is located on Jacksonville Road, approximately one-quarter mile south of Street Road in Warminster Township. It should be noted that although SEPTA trains do not travel further north, the rail line does continue all the way to New Hope Borough. The trackage north of Warminster Station is currently used as a diesel excursion and freight service by the New Hope & Ivyland Railroad.

Findings for Warminster Station Area

Warminster Station is located along Jacksonville Road immediately southwest of its intersection with Street Road in the west-central area of Warminster Township. The terminus of the SEPTA and the line’s only Bucks County station, Warminster Station was established in 1974 when line electrification was extended from Hatboro. This enabled a commuter station to be added at Warminster to ease parking congestion at other stations along the line. The station building, constructed circa 1975, provides modern amenities including a fully accessible high-level platform, an indoor waiting area with restrooms, and a ticket office.

The station is situated in an area of predominantly commercial and retail use. Until recently, only a small number of residential properties were within one thousand feet of the station. In 2012, a community of approximately 150 luxury apartment homes was constructed immediately adjacent to the station and a staircase from the community to the station platform was added. Nevertheless, the station is not easily accessed by pedestrians from other locations in the area and remains predominantly a park and ride station, as evidenced by the parking area being nearly full to capacity before the end of the morning rush hour despite a recent expansion of the parking facility.

Sidewalks are in place along Jacksonville Road for the benefit of those wishing to walk to Warminster Station. However, the sidewalk abruptly ends on the northern side of Jacksonville Road between the train station and the intersection with Street Road. There is the potential for confusion if someone unfamiliar with the area attempts to walk from Warminster Station to one of the many businesses in the vicinity of Jacksonville and Street Road, possibly resulting in an attempted mid-block crossing of Jacksonville Road or the need to walk along the shoulder of this busy roadway. The issue is further compounded if an individual is disabled. Crossings at the intersection of Jacksonville and Street Roads are recently updated and provide a secure crossing for pedestrians of all abilities.

Recommendations for Warminster Station Area

Warminster Station, while easily seen and accessed from Jacksonville Road, may be difficult to find for individuals not familiar with the area. There is the potential for further confusion by motorists on Street Road who mistakenly believe the station is located along adjacent Park Avenue. The addition of signage along the Jacksonville Road, Street Road, and County Line Road corridors will greatly increase the visibility of the station within the community and prevent motorist confusion along these key thoroughfares. In addition, it is recommended that the existing signs be replaced with updated signs which provide clearer information regarding the station.

Suggested sign placement locations are:

• Westbound Route 132 near Route 332 (see figure W4) • Eastbound Route 332 near County Line Road (see figure W6) • Westbound County Line Road near Route 332 (see figure W8) • Eastbound County Line Road near Route 332 (see figure W10)

Completion of the network of sidewalks between the station and nearby business areas is the ideal solution for improved pedestrian access and use, but from a cost- and practicality-based standpoint, the posting of signage directing pedestrians toward completed sidewalks and the safest path between the train station and nearby areas will yield more benefit in the short term.

Report Conclusion

Summary

In , the rail stations found along the Trenton and Warminster Regional Rail Lines are well kept and fairly accessible for all riders. However, this report concludes that additional signage and some pedestrian improvements near the stations have the potential to attract ridership to the train lines. As with all improvements, there are certain costs that will have to occur to implement the recommendations. This report will be used to investigate potential construction funding opportunities. The following is a summary of the recommendations developed by this report.
