Transportation Theme Element: Vehicular Transportation Transportation GUIDING PRINCIPLES • Enhance all of the primary modes by which people travel through the community based on their importance to the safety, community character, and economic development of the Borough. • Work with appropriate State and other agencies and adjacent municipalities to understand and address concerns regarding the regional transportation system. • Continue to encourage the use of alternative transportation modes, including biking, walking, and using public transportation. • Install traffic calming and other infrastructure improvements to enhance the walkability of the Borough, especially around the Jenkintown School, along Old York Road, and around transit stops. • Work to preserve and enhance the public accessibility and exceptional level of service at the Jenkintown-Wyncote Train Station due to the positive effects this station has on the Borough's property values and overall economy. Transportation Summary of Recommendations Summary of Transportation Recommendations RECOMMENDATION T1: Ensure roadway infrastructure adequately and safely serves all roadway users by implementing targeted traffic calming strategies. RECOMMENDATION T2: Ensure high-quality and consistent maintenance of all Borough-owned roads. RECOMMENDATION T3: Evaluate and implement strategies to protect the walkability, safety, and economic vitality of Jenkintown’s historic town center while accommodating the current traffic volumes along Old York Road. RECOMMENDATION T4: Maintain Jenkintown’s comprehensive and interconnected sidewalk network and require or encourage new development and redevelopment projects to incorporate improvements that enhance the walkability of the Borough. RECOMMENDATION T5: Ensure proper maintenance (including maintenance and enforcement of a clear pedestrian right-of-way) of the Borough’s sidewalk network that connects residents to amenities such as the School, Uptown, and the regional rail stations. RECOMMENDATION T6: Increase the safety and convenience of bike ridership. RECOMMENDATION T7: Create new bike routes and connections that broaden opportunities for residents to be able to bike throughout the local area and reach more destinations by bike. RECOMMENDATION T8: Increase the safety and convenience of public transportation options through partnerships and strategic installation of additional amenities and resources that enhance the current public transportation network. 2 Jenkintown2035 Comprehensive Plan Circulation is the movement of goods and people. Receiving deliveries, commuting to work, walking to school, and biking for exercise are all examples of transportation in our daily lives. The transportation network has evolved over time and the modes are interconnected and interdependent. A safe, connected, and diverse transportation network is essential to a modern and efficient life. INTRODUCTION COMMUNITY TRANSPORTATION PATTERNS Jenkintown’s location and existing transportation infrastructure offer many options for residents and employers alike. In fact, transportation access (both public transit and major road connections) is a major reason residents choose to live in Jenkintown. Jenkintown’s network of sidewalks and compact development pattern encourage healthy lifestyles and reduce dependence on the automobile by making walking an attractive option to reach the local commercial area, train station, and school. In fact, the majority of Jenkintown households (52%) either have one or fewer vehicles (see Table 23 below), which is strikingly different from the neighboring townships and the County overall where it is more common for households to have two or more cars. Table 23. Number of Vehicles per Household, 20141 % of Households by # of Vehicles per Household Jenkintown Abington Cheltenham Montgomery Borough Township Township County No vehicle available 8.3% 6.1% 7.9% 2.3% 1 vehicle available 43.7% 32.1% 38.0% 17.9% 2 vehicles available 35.4% 42.0% 39.5% 48.4% 3 or more vehicles available 12.6% 19.9% 14.5% 31.4% The 2015 Jenkintown community survey indicated that the primary reason for residents’ daily travel is to commute to work. The U.S. Census Bureau tracks the percentage of a population that takes each mode of travel to commute to work, as well as the average travel time (see Table 24 on the following page). Although driving alone is still the most common method of commuting to work, Jenkintown has the highest percentage of workers that travel to work via public transportation of either of the neighboring townships and more than three-times the percentage of public transit commuters than Montgomery County overall. The Borough's population and housing densities and extensive network of sidewalks contribute to the convenience and accessibility of public transportation for Borough residents. However, a higher use of public transit does not necessarily mean a shorter commute. In fact, the average commute travel time for Jenkintown workers is 4 minutes longer than that for Montgomery County as a whole. Although using public transportation can sometimes result in a longer commute time (due to walking time to and from the station or 1 U.S. Census Bureau. American Community Survey 2010-2014 5-Year Estimate. www.JenkintownBoro.com 3 Transportation Introduction transit stop, frequency of service, number of stops, etc.) many people value the ability to use that time for more productive activities (listening to music, working, reading, talking to friends) and are willing to have a slightly longer total travel time in exchange. Table 24. Commute to Work Characteristics2 % of Workers 16 Years and Over Mode of Commute Jenkintown Abington Cheltenham Montgomery to Work Borough Township Township County Drive Alone 64.9% 77.3% 68.3% 78.8% Carpool 6.7% 8.4% 6.2% 7.3% Public Transportation 17.6% 7.5% 14.9% 5.2% Walk/Bike 3.3% 2.8% 5.0% 3.0% Other 0.0% 0.4% 0.5% 0.6% Work from Home 7.5% 3.6% 5.1% 5.1% Mean Commute Travel Time 31.7 27.6 29.5 27.7 to Work (Minutes) Excess vehicular access points associated with dispersed commercial development can contribute to roadway congestion. Where possible, traffic-generating uses such as large retail and office developments should be clustered near transit, with clear and logical vehicular and pedestrian connections amongst all of the buildings on the site, and controlled access to the main roadway. Figure 9. Example of Redevelopment Scenario with shared Parking and Fewer Curb Cuts By encouraging shared parking and parking lot connectivity, and requiring that new surface parking lots be placed to the rear of buildings, commercial areas will become more attractive and walkable. Minimizing the number of curb cuts that cross pedestrian walkways will provide a safer pedestrian environment along Jenkintown’s commercial roads and decrease the number of un- signalized vehicular access points that contribute to congestion. Minimizing or eliminating parking in front of buildings will allow for improvements such as wider sidewalks, increased landscaping, or public seating areas 2 U.S. Census Bureau. American Community Survey 2010-2014 5-Year Estimate. 4 Jenkintown2035 Comprehensive Plan Old York Road is both a State highway (State Route 611) and a quaint commercial corridor as it passes through Jenkintown Borough. Table 25 below summarizes the many transportation-related studies and plans conducted recently that relate to Jenkintown Borough Table 25.

Soon after being re-named the Cheltenham and Willow Grove Turnpike, the road was macadamized in 1805. In 1917 the state took over maintenance of the road and abolished the toll.3 The first Borough road to be paved in Jenkintown was Greenwood Avenue which connected the center of town to the original Jenkintown-Wyncote train station building built in 1872.4 Road Ownership & Classification Today, the majority of the roads through the Borough are owned and maintained by the Borough; however Old York Road, a portion of West Avenue, a portion of Walnut Street, and Township Line Road along the Borough’s southern border are State-owned roads (see Map 25 on the following page). Each road segment is also classified by PennDOT based on the role that each road serves as part of the interdependent network of roadways (see Map 26 on page #). A description of the role of each classification of road is summarized in Table 26 below. Table 26.Road Classification Descriptions Road Classification Example Description Arterial Roads Old York Road Typically have higher traffic volumes and serve longer distance travel needs Collector Roads Greenwood Avenue Collect traffic from local roads and connect to arterial roads Local Roads Rodman Avenue Provide direct access to individual lots and are not meant to accommodate thru-traffic or

  • Background Analysis
    BACKGROUND ANALYSIS 3 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Jenkintown's central business district is concentrated along Old York Road from Washington Lane to Cloverly Avenue, providing a dense mix of retail and office uses. Significant commercial activity is also located along West Avenue, as well as smaller streets surrounding the Old York and West intersection. Another cluster of office development is at the western edge of the borough near the Jenkintown SEPTA station, although associated retail services are located across the tracks in Cheltenham Township. The major focus for Jenkintown's commercial base, as well as its overall image, is the traditional business district centered around the intersection of Old York and West. Since this business district is geographi- cally located at the top of a hill, it is referred to as "Uptown." The physical layout of Uptown, with its his- toric buildings and intimate streetscape, lends to a small-town atmosphere. “Uptown” contains “Uptown” many historic continues along commercial build- West Avenue ings along Old with speciality York Road. shops and service retail. Jenkintown rests amid a wealthy area of suburbs in eastern Montgomery County. Estimated median income for 2000 was $55,604, while the average income for households with children was $84,443. Jenkintown residents also have high educational attainment, with 93% holding high school diplomas and 43% with college degrees. With this strong demographic base, the borough is well known for its quality school district. These factors make Jenkintown attractive for employers seeking educated workers, busi- nesses seeking to locate near disposable income, and families seeking quality schools. Previous Planning Efforts In past decades, Jenkintown was a regional commercial center known for its department stores and spe- cialty retail shops.

The region includes Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties, as well as the City of Philadelphia, in Pennsylvania; and Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Mercer counties in New Jersey. DVRPC provides technical assistance and services; conducts high priority studies that respond to the requests and demands of member state and local governments; fosters cooperation among various constituents to forge a consensus on diverse regional issues; determines and meets the needs of the private sector; and practices public outreach efforts to promote two-way communication and public awareness of regional issues and the Commission. Our logo is adapted from the official DVRPC seal, and is designed as a stylized image of the Delaware Valley. The outer ring symbolizes the region as a whole, while the diagonal bar signifies the Delaware River. The two adjoining crescents represent the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New Jersey. DVRPC is funded by a variety of funding sources including federal grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the Pennsylvania and New Jersey departments of transportation, as well as by DVRPC’s state and local member governments. The authors, however, are solely responsible for its findings and conclusions, which may not represent the official views or policies of the funding agencies.
