Article III of the MPC provides requirements regarding the content and information that must be included as part of a comprehensive plan. Article VIII-A provides specific authorization for the governing bodies of multiple municipalities to adopt joint municipal comprehensive plans. A History of Cooperation Cooperative planning in the Quakertown Area has a history that extends over 35 years, making it one of the earliest such efforts in Pennsylvania. Following discussions on the possible advantages of joint planning between the six municipalities within the Quakertown Community School District and the Upper Bucks Chamber of Commerce, the Quakertown Area Planning Committee was formed by resolution in 1972. Cooperating municipalities include Haycock, Milford, and Richland townships, as well as Quakertown, Richlandtown, and Trumbauersville boroughs. The seventh active participant is the Quakertown Community School District. Demands on the school district are directly affected by the location, scale, type, and timing of new development. Cooperation among municipalities and the school district allows informed school facilities planning and budget management. The members of the Quakertown Area Planning Committee have a long-standing commitment to regional cooperation as evidenced by their many accomplishments. 1975 Adopted Quakertown Area Zoning Ordinance 1978 Adopted Quakertown Area Comprehensive Plan 1979 Adopted Quakertown Area Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance Adopted Comprehensive amendments to the Quakertown Area Zoning Ordinance 1981 Prepared Quakertown Area Linked Open Space Study 1982 Prepared Development Areas Analysis 1985 Adopted Wastewater Facilities Component to the Quakertown Area Comprehensive Plan 1986 Prepared Development Areas Analysis 1987 Prepared Quakertown Area Traffic Analysis 1991 Prepared Quakertown Bypass Feasibility Study 1992 Prepared Update to the Quakertown Area Comprehensive Plan 1994 Prepared Update of the Quakertown Area Zoning Ordinance 2003 Prepared Update of the Quakertown Area Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance 2003 Prepared Update of the Quakertown Area Zoning Ordinance (based on Growing Greener principles) In addition to completion of these plans, studies, and ordinances, the cooperative planning program provides the forum for municipal officials and school district representatives to share ideas about regional challenges and municipal responsibilities. 1 The Quakertown Area Located in the western corner of Bucks County, the Quakertown Area encompasses 72.57 square miles (45,639 acres) and comprises approximately 12 percent of the total area of Bucks County. The area is bordered to the north and west by Lehigh and Montgomery counties, and to the south and east by the Pennridge and Palisades planning areas in Bucks County. The highway system, which includes routes 309, 313, 663, and the Northeast Extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, connects the Quakertown Area to employment, shopping, recreation, service and residential areas in these surrounding regions. Likewise, people travel into the Quakertown Area for the same purposes. Route 309 and the Northeast Extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike provide direct connections to Interstate 78, which has increased accessibility between the Quakertown Area and markets and employment areas in a much greater region. The landscape of the Quakertown Area is quite diversified. With the exception of its three boroughs and their immediately adjacent areas, the Quakertown Area is mostly rural. A variety of natural resources exist throughout this area including a large concentration of wetlands, such as the Quakertown Swamp, which is one of the more critical wildlife habitats in the county for a variety of species. This planning area also contains the greatest amount of park and recreational land in the county. A majority of this acreage is located in Haycock Township, with its extensive State Game Lands, a large portion of Nockamixon State Park and Lake Towhee County Park. There are areas in the region that are actively farmed, which surround small rural villages. Steep, wooded, rugged areas, most noticeably in Haycock and parts of Richland, have experienced sparse and scattered development. The center of Quakertown Borough typifies a downtown central business district. Quakertown and Richland also contain suburban shopping centers. The Route 309 corridor is a typical example of highway strip-commercial development. Purposes Of This Update A comprehensive plan should serve as a document that provides a foundation for local planning, a ready resource containing the policies that guide land-use decisions in a community. It can help a community to shape its future by guiding the formulation of zoning and subdivision ordinances, the acquisition of open space, transportation improvements, the protection of natural and historic resources, and the provision of community facilities. This update is intended

This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/ese_papers/758 For more information, please contact [email protected]. Report on Interstate 476 (The Blue Route) Abstract For fifty earsy Pennsylvanians have been discussing the idea of constructing a new north-south highway in the central part of Delaware County, the suburban county immediately west of the City of Philadelphia. Such a highway originally was conceived as a parkway. The notion never got very far until the mid-1950's. When the federal Interstate Highway System was conceived, a facility in central Delaware County was proposed to connect the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-276) in Plymouth Meeting, Montgomery County, with the Delaware Expressway (I-95) in Ridley Township, Delaware County. This facility was designated I-476. As conceived, it would constitute the western part of a planned circumferential freeway network around Philadelphia. I-476 is commonly known as "the Blue Route" and also as the "Mid County Expressway." As an interstate highway project, 90% of the cost of I-476 would be covered by federal interstate highway funds allocated to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).

  • A Timeline of Bucks County History 1600S-1900S-Rev2
    A TIMELINE OF BUCKS COUNTY HISTORY— 1600s-1900s 1600’s Before c. A.D. 1609 - The native peoples of the Delaware Valley, those who greet the first European explorers, traders and settlers, are the Lenni Lenape Indians. Lenni Lenape is a bit of a redundancy that can be translated as the “original people” or “common people.” Right: A prehistoric pot (reconstructed from fragments), dating 500 B.C.E. to A.D. 1100, found in a rockshelter in northern Bucks County. This clay vessel, likely intended for storage, was made by ancestors of the Lenape in the Delaware Valley. Mercer Museum Collection. 1609 - First Europeans encountered by the Lenape are the Dutch: Henry Hudson, an Englishman sailing under the Dutch flag, sailed up Delaware Bay. 1633 - English Captain Thomas Yong tries to probe the wilderness that will become known as Bucks County but only gets as far as the Falls of the Delaware River at today’s Morrisville. 1640 - Portions of lower Bucks County fall within the bounds of land purchased from the Lenape by the Swedes, and a handful of Swedish settlers begin building log houses and other structures in the region. 1664 - An island in the Delaware River, called Sankhickans, is the first documented grant of land to a European - Samuel Edsall - within the boundaries of Bucks County. 1668 - The first grant of land in Bucks County is made resulting in an actual settlement - to Peter Alrichs for two islands in the Delaware River. 1679 - Crewcorne, the first Bucks County village, is founded on the present day site of Morrisville.

  • Pa. Turnpike Bridge Project to Impact Traffic on Interstate 476 in Lower Salford Township
    N E W S R E L E A S E Carl DeFebo Jr., Director of Public Relations and Marketing Media Contact: Mimi Doyle Public Information Manager – East 610-239-4117 Pa. Turnpike Bridge Project to Impact Traffic on Interstate 476 in Lower Salford Township this Month Nighttime construction activities may cause delays between exits 31-44 through November. The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission advises motorists who travel the Turnpike’s Northeastern Extension (I-476) between Lansdale (Exit #31) and Quakertown (Exit #44) that construction-related activities associated with a bridge replacement project at milepost A31.7 in Lower Salford Township, Montgomery County, are scheduled to begin the week of April 15. A contract valued at $4.2 million was awarded to Allan A. Myers, LP of Worcester, Pa., to replace the Fretz Road Bridge earlier this year. The work area extends from approximately 1.7 miles north of the Lansdale Interchange (Exit #31) in Montgomery County. The contractor anticipates the bridge will open to traffic by mid to late November. Locally, advance warning signs were posted this week alerting motorists that on April 26, Fretz Road will be closed and traffic detoured between Yoder Road and Wambold Road from May through November. Next week, detour signs will be posted along the planned route; passenger and commercial vehicles will be directed over Wambold Road, Main Street (State Route 63), Ruth Road, Clemens Road and Yoder Road to Fretz Road (approximately 2.8 miles). Local access on Fretz Road will be available to and from either direction to the bridge while the detour is in place.
