The promotion of land use and transportation planning linkages was the foundation for the improvement strategies recommended in the Phase I report (#05029). During FY 2006, these implementation strategies were further researched and developed into individual tools for use by the study area municipalities. This Phase II report (05029-A) combines each distinct improvement strategy into one toolbox, with guidance and samples that will provide momentum for implementation and continued multi-municipal cooperation. One of the primary goals of this study is to establish consistency along the corridor through the modification of land use planning documents and local ordinances. Strategies to arrive at this goal include utilizing various access management techniques, amending each community's comprehensive plan an other ordinances, adopting zoning overlays and creating an official map. To help guide study area municipaltiies in the creation and amendment of their own ordinances, samples from local communities were compiled is not a separate Appendix document (#05029-C). Finally the Potential Funding Sources document (#05029-B) inventories available funding programs , for which study area municipalities are eligible, to accomplish these recommended improvements.Geographic Area Covered: Marple, Newtown and Edgmont Townships, Delaware County, Pennsylvania
