  • 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.

  • 2013 River Towns Report
    When the Pennsylvania Environmental Council (PEC) first launched the River Town Program in 2010, its goal was to help communities to recognize the river as an asset around which potential community and economic development could background occur, and thus be recognized as a resource worthy of protection. For PEC, this program has evolved into a model for PEC originally launched the River Town Program along the Allegheny River just north of Pittsburgh as a pilot to apply implementing collaborative solutions to environmental protection and restoration, by recognizing the inextricable links the strategies used successfully in previous asset-based community development initiatives in river towns. Models between the environment, the economy and quality of life. included the trail town initiatives along the Great Allegheny Passage and the C&O Canal Towpath, traditional Main Street Programs and others. This report describes the River Town process and highlights the successes of many of the communities who have participated in the program. The successes described are the work of many partners and the credit for all achievements “River Towns,” the communities bordering rivers throughout Pennsylvania, were founded as manufacturing centers belongs to the communities themselves. close to river and rail transportation. With the decline of manufacturing, these communities suffered both job loss and population decline as generations that once prospered working in industries next to the river were forced to leave to find jobs elsewhere. The River Town model seeks to improve the vitality, stability, sustainability and prosperity of communities, businesses and neighborhoods. This is the foundation upon which related economic development, including recreational tourism and environmental initiatives, such as stormwater management, trail development and clean energy projects are built.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this item is to seek Board acceptance and approval of the Public Outreach and Input Report and Title VI equity analysis, and the FY2020 Operating Budget and FY2020-2025 CIP. DESCRIPTION: Budget Priorities: Keeping Metro Safe, Reliable and Affordable The budget is built upon the General Manager/CEO's Keeping Metro Safe, Reliable and Affordable (KMSRA) strategic plan. Metro is making major progress to achieve the goals of this plan by ramping up to average capital investment of $1.5 billion annually, establishing a dedicated capital trust fund exclusive to capital investment, and limiting jurisdictional annual capital funding growth to three percent. Metro continues to encourage the U.S. Congress to reauthorize the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act (PRIIA) beyond FY2020, which provides $150 million in annual federal funds matched by $150 million from the District of Columbia, State of Maryland, and Commonwealth of Virginia. In order to establish a sustainable operating model, Metro is limiting jurisdictional operating subsidy growth to three percent and deploying innovative competitive contracting. The items on the KMSRA agenda that remain to be completed include restructuring retirement benefits and creating a Rainy Day Fund.
