  • E-Zpass-Only’ Interchange Opens in Bucks County Today Eastbound On/Off Ramps Will Link Interstate 276 and State Route 132 (Street Road)
    Media Contact: Mimi Doyle at 610-239-4117 Communications and Public Relations [email protected] New Pa. Turnpike ‘E-ZPass-Only’ Interchange Opens in Bucks County Today Eastbound on/off ramps will link Interstate 276 and State Route 132 (Street Road). The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) today will open a new E-ZPass Only Interchange in Bensalem Township, Bucks County, approximately one-half mile east of its Bensalem Interchange (Exit #351). Officials anticipate opening the partial interchange following a ribbon- cutting ceremony set to start at 11:30 a.m. The so-called All Electronic Interchange (AEI) -- to be designated as the Street Road Interchange (Exit #352) -- will only accommodate eastbound entering and eastbound exiting traffic and offer direct Pa. Turnpike access via Street Road (State Route 132) between the Parx Casino, Bensalem, Pa., and U.S. Route 1. Only motorists with an active E-ZPass account will be eligible to utilize the Street Road AEI. All E-ZPass tags from any of the 24 affiliated tolling agencies in 14 states (primarily in the Northeastern U.S.) will be accepted. Non-E-ZPass (cash-paying) motorists who try to use the interchange will receive a video-toll violation in the mail and are liable to pay the toll from the farthest Pa. Turnpike entry point plus administrative fees. The cost to exit via the new interchange from points west will be the same toll as if exiting at Delaware Valley (#358). For those who got on the Turnpike at Street Road, the toll at the two plazas east of the AEI -- Delaware Valley #358 and Delaware River Bridge #359 -- will be the same as if entering at Bensalem (formerly the Philadelphia Interchange).

  • Open Space and Chapter 4: Trails and Pathways
    OpenChapter Space 3 Over the last decade, Montgomery County’s open space efforts and land preservation strategies have focused on the creation of an open space system for future generations to enjoy. The county’s “open space system” approach uses different open space components as building blocks for a network of interrelated lands and trails. These components include protected natural areas, greenways, county parks and historic sites, trail corridors, preserved farmland, and cultural and historic landscapes. Scenic views and vistas are a common element of all of the open space components. This system of county open space is part of a network that includes existing and future regional open space initiatives, federal and state open space lands, and lands protected by local municipalities and private organi- zations. Montgomery County has already accumulated many of these building blocks, and a growing open space network has begun to take shape due to the combined efforts of the county, federal, state, and local governments, strong partnerships with conser- vation organizations, and many energetic and determined citizen advocates. The first part of this chapter describes the existing open space resources within Montgomery County and available through- out the immediate region. This open space includes permanently preserved land (publicly accessible parkland, natural areas, and greenways) and perma- nently preserved private open space. Trails, farm- land, and historic/cultural resources are covered in detail in subsequent chapters. Montgomery County has a growing open space network. The second part of this chapter describes the strategies, actions, and collaborations that form the plan for completing the open space system.

Crockett, Ph.D., P.E. Manager – Watershed Protection Philadelphia Water Department Office of Watersheds 1101 Market Street, 4th Floor Philadelphia, PA 19107 phone: (215) 685-6234 fax: (215) 685-6034 email: [email protected] Delaware River Source Water Protection Plan i Philadelphia Water Department Delaware River Watershed Purpose The purpose of the Delaware River Protection Plan is to design a source water protection strategy to counter current and future water supply concerns of the Philadelphia Water Department and drinking water utilities that share the Delaware River as a resource. The Baxter Water Treatment Plant, one of three drinking water facilities in Philadelphia, is supplied by the Delaware River. The Delaware River watershed extends 8,000 square miles through Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York. The Delaware River Source Water Protection Plan uses critical water quality, land cover, and population analyses as well as point and non-point source pollution modeling to characterize the water supply. The source water quality and quantity characterization, incorporated with the results from the 2002 Source Water Assessment, provide the technical foundation for a Delaware River source water protection strategy.
