Transportation Plan
CHAPTER EIGHT Transportation Plan Broadly defined, the transportation plan is a plan for the movement of people and goods throughout the township. More specifically, it documents township roadway classifications and traffic volumes, while providing recommendations on mitigating congestion and safety problems. It also examines alternative transportation modes such as public transit and pedestrian and bicycle pathways. With the degree to which the recommendations contained in this chapter are implemented, it would not only allow for the continued efficient flow of people and goods, but will also help to maintain and enhance the quality of life currently enjoyed in the township. This chapter is comprised of three main sections: roadways, public transit, and pedestrian/bicycle path- ways. Each section contains its own specific set of recommendations. Roadways The township’s original comprehensive plan of 1965 presents a bold, optimistic outlook on the future of Whitemarsh’s road network. Traffic congestion would be eliminated through the construction of new roads and bridges; expressways are envisioned bisecting the township and a bridge would provide a direct connec- tion to the Schuylkill Expressway. Hazardous intersections would be eliminated through improvements and realignments. An ambitious document, it is a reflection of a time when the answer to current woes was new construction that was bigger and therefore better. While the merits of new expressways and wider roads are still a debatable point, for the township it is moot. Despite the fact that this plan contained many valid ideas, most of the new roadway opportunities have been lost through subsequent development and a greater appre- ciation for older structures makes road widenings difficult. -

A Brief History of the Liberty Bell Trolley
The first railroad in Whitpain Township was the Stony Creek Railroad, built in the 1870s. Stations (from north to south) were at Acorn, Belfry (Skippack Pike) and Custer (Township Line Road). Both freight and passengers were carried, but the steam-hauled trains were infrequent and tickets expensive. Whitpain’s first trolley line: the Lansdale & Norristown Electric Railway Company, incorporated in 1900. After two years of construction, trolley service began in 1902, running along Morris Road and Dekalb Pike. 1 After reorganization in 1904, the trolley line was known as the Montgomery Traction Company. Proud crewmen are about to depart the line’s Lansdale terminus on Susquehanna Avenue at Main Street. Here transfers were made to Lehigh Valley Transit trolleys to Hatfield and Allentown, Ambler and Chestnut Hill. At its south end in Norristown, the MTCo. connected with Schuylkill Valley Traction trolleys. (Later, SVT would be absorbed by Reading Transit & Light Co., with trolleys to Manayunk, Conshohocken, Pottstown, and Boyertown.) This tinted postcard shows an MTCo. trolley southbound on Dekalb Street at Airy Street. 2 MTCo. trolleys served Zieber’s Park on Garfield Avenue, later known as West Point Park. The trolley car barn still stands today on West Point Pike in Upper Gwynedd Township. (MTCo’s brick power generating station on nearby Cottage Avenue was torn down in 2016.) 3 Lehigh Valley Transit trolleys served Chestnut Hill Philadelphia, Allentown, and points in between. Near Whitpain, the original Liberty Bell Route ran on Bethlehem Pike, Sumneytown Pike, Allentown Road. By 1910 the frequent, low-cost service was popular. However, through service was slow: three hours. -

1819 Lower Dublin Township - John Melish Map of Philadelphia County 1819 Lower Dublin Township
1819 Lower Dublin Township - John Melish Map of Philadelphia County 1819 Lower Dublin Township Lower Dublin and Upper Dublin Townships were officially established in 1701. Both townships were within Philadelphia County until 1784 when Montgomery County was created, including Upper Dublin Township. In 1816, the Pennsylvania legislature commissioned Philadelphia cartographer John Melish to produce the first detailed map of Philadelphia County. The map was published in 1819 and included a table in the bottom right hand corner with information on each township noting area, population, soil quality and geographic features. Lower Dublin Township (1819 map detail on preceding page) had an area of 9,500 acres (5 mi x 3 mi) – by far the largest township in Philadelphia County – with “gentle declivities”, “sandy loam” soil, and an 1810 population of 2164. Melish also notes the presence of four post offices within Philadelphia County and their distance from the city: Philadelphia (0 miles), Frankford (5 miles), Germantown (6 miles), and Holmesburg (9 miles). In 1819, Fox Chase, Bustle Town (Bustleton), and Holmesburg were Lower Dublin Township’s notable villages. All three grew around inns or public houses. By 1768 there was a Busseltown Tavern from which Bustleton would take its name. The village was located where the Welsh Road intersected the Bustleton-Smithfield Road. (The village of Smithfield – later Somerton - was at the border of Lower Moreland and Byberry Townships at Byberry Road.) Bustleton was the polling place for Lower Dublin Township voters. (In the 1828 Presidential election, the township voted 122 for John Adams and 173 for Andrew Jackson - the national winner.) The Bustleton Pike, like the Bristol Pike, is one of Philadelphia’s earliest roads dating back to circa 1690.
