  • Transportation Summary
    XI. TRANSPORTATION The transportation and land use patterns of a given area have a distinct correlation. The location and character of transportation routes often determine the general direction of growth within a community and are often deciding factors of residential, commercial, institutional and industrial developments. The effectiveness of a transportation system is measured by its ability to provide safe and efficient modes of travel on a local and regional level. Therefore, it is imperative to develop an effective plan for transportation in order to support growth and development. The objective of this chapter is to develop a detailed transportation profile and plan considering local and regional needs. A. COMPOSITION OF PUBLIC ROADS The roadway composition and patterns within the Southern Berks Region are typical of most rural- suburban areas. The location of these roads has influenced the land use composition as well as the economy. Within the Southern Berks Region, the principal roads include the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76), the Morgantown Expressway (I-176), State Route 10, State Route 23 and State Route 724. These expressways and arterial roads serve many regional interests since they have the capacities to accommodate large volumes of traffic at higher rates of speed. However, most of the residents within the Southern Berks Region are dependent upon collector or local access roads as an essential method to get from place to palace. Since the automobile is the primary mode of transportation within the Southern Berks Region, the existing and future roadway network is vital to the overall land use composition, economic vitality and quality of life.

  • Chapter 5 Transportation Inv&Plan – Publication
    CHAPTER 5 TRANSPORTATION AND CIRCULATION INVENTORY AND PLAN The transportation and circulation system available to residents and businesses is an important factor in the quality of life for Elverson residents. As development pressure in the region is expected to continue, maintaining and improving the ability to move around the community in a safe manner through a variety of transportation options, or a multi-modal network, is critical. A balanced multi-modal network meets user needs and improves the sustainability of the transportation network and the Borough overall. This chapter describes the existing transportation and circulation system and recommendations to address the needs of the system within the following framework: • Inventory o Land Use Patterns o Commuting Patterns o Modes of Travel . Roadways . Bicycle and Pedestrian Circulation . Public Transportation o Improvement Process • Planning Implications • Recommendations • Links Elverson Borough Comprehensive Plan Transportation and Circulation Inventory and Plan 5-1 Inventory Figure 5-1: Regional Setting Elverson Borough is well connected to major highway corridors, as briefly discussed in Chapter 1 and shown on Figure 5-1. There are three main traffic routes located in Elverson: PA Route 23 (Main Street), PA Route 82 (Chestnut Street) and PA SR 2082 Route 401 (Conestoga Road). The Pennsylvania Turnpike, Interstate 176, and routes 10 and 345 are located in close proximity to the Borough. Land Use Patterns The area of present-day Elverson was founded in the mid-1700s as a wayside hamlet along an early regional roadway - Route 23.
