Transportation Part 1 Revised 8-05 No Hyphen.Pub Transportation Pottstown Metropolitan Regional Comprehensive Plan Chapter 8 Transportation Pottstown Urban Transit (PUT) Bus and Bike Lane U.S. 422 The Region Supports the Schuylkill Valley Metro Pottstown Municipal Airport The Transportation chapter of the Pottstown Regional Comprehensive Plan discusses existing conditions and planning for the Region’s highways, public transit, bike and pedestrian mobility, freight transport, and air travel. Transportation systems affect mobility, accessibility, safety, economic development and quality of life; therefore transportation is a critical element of this Regional Plan. Highways A survey of the Region's residents [Pottstown Regional Survey, 2002] showed that the improvement of traffic and road conditions is considered fourth most important among top priorities (behind only: increasing jobs, open space preservation, and agricultural preservation). 105 Pottstown Metropolitan Regional Comprehensive Plan Transportation The highway section addresses the condition and capacity Existing Conditions of the Region's roads and bridges. It discusses existing The primary challenges affecting the Region's highway highway conditions and problems, including: system include traffic congestion, deteriorating roads and bridges, and problems caused by narrow rural roads with • Statistics sharp curves and unaligned intersections.

Congestion and manage, limit, and potentially reduce traffic has led to the formation of bottlenecks at certain intersections, such as the intersection of Farmington congestion.

In some areas FIGURE 8-1 increased traffic has led to a need for additional through, AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC turn, or breakdown lanes.

  • Greater Reading: a Call to Action
    GREATER READING: A CALL TO ACTION To: The Greater Reading Community The Initiative for a Competitive Greater Reading (ICGR) was started by several local business leaders in response to a challenge – and a commitment of support – by local elected political leaders. These early initiators recognized and stated that they wanted something differ- ent, something real, and something that would make an impact toward creating an exciting and vibrant future for the Greater Reading region. Our approach was based on a simple principle – quality of life begins with a healthy economy. Put more simply, we needed to provide jobs for our residents. And, given our recent history of losing so many jobs, this required us to begin to think about doing some things differently. The good news is that we found a widespread interest in bringing about the necessary changes. What we found lacking initially, at least, was the necessary consensus on priorities. The Initiative for a Competitive Greater Reading set about to change this. Our region is unique in many ways. Sure, we have our problems and challenges. Who doesn’t? But we took account of these, dealt with them and focused most of our efforts on a very real set of opportunities. This we called “dealing with reality”. And “dealing with reality” implies, first, that we recognize things as they actually are, not as we wish they might be or as we might remember them. Among today’s realities, we all need to accept and come to terms with the following: - The region cannot be successful without a vibrant urban core.

  • 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.

  • City of Readins; Psnrisylvania
    City of Readins; Psnrisylvania JUNE 2000 c Ji -e Executive Summary THE PROCESS The City of Reading faces an uncertain and challenging future. It has reached the point in its growth and evolution when it is necessary to look at and plan for the future. Significant changes continue to occur at local and regional levels. Changing economics, shifting population bases, industrial plant closings, older housing stock and aging public facilities are headlines that appear in the news media every day. On the other hand, there are prospects for regional economic growth, collaboration and other potential opportunities that can be pursued. The current Master Plan for the City of Reading was adopted in 1969. There were efforts in 1980 and 1986 to develop an updated plan, but support was limited and final drafts were never completed. In January 1997, the Reading Planning Commission suggested to the Mayor and City Council that the Commission and appropriate Planning staff develop a new Comprehensive P!an and related Strategic Action Plan. The recommendation was endorsed by the P,dministrz- tion, and the Planning Commission identified several critical objectives to be included in the creation of the new plan. These have been summarized in the following Mission Statement: 3. “The Comprehensive Plan for Reading serves as a formally adopted statement of poli- cies regarding the City’s future. It provides a framework for public and private decisions that impact the prioritization of resource allocation, increases neighborhood and busi- 2 ness stability, and improves the overall quality of life. The document can also serve as a guide to address changing human and physical environments, strengthen community confidence and involvement, provide investment security, preserve and enhance the positive qualities of Reading, and reinforce the City as a regional hub.” In June 1997, City Council directed the Planning Commission and appropriate staff of the Community Development Department to prepare a Comprehensive Plan and Strategic Action Plan for Reading.
