This study was developed using a consensus-based approach with input from the corridor communities of Solebury and Buckingham townships and the Borough of New Hope, as well as state and county representatives in the identification of transportation issues. This study documents and describes the existing conditions along the corridor and identifies alternative concepts that address existing deficiencies. Operational improvements were suggested ranging from intersection redesign to improved regulatory signage and pavement markings. An access management plan was developed for the section of US 202 in the vicinity of Logan Square in Solebury Township. Access management techniques were recommended to improve the safety and efficiency of the corridor. In addition, pedestrian safety recommendations, such as improved crosswalks, sidewalks, and buffers were identified for areas in the vicinity of schools, shopping, and other areas with high pedestrian activity. A bicycle trail map was developed identifying existing and proposed bicycle trails within the corridor and showing their connectivity with other networks in surrounding communities.

Geographic Area Covered: The study area includes portions of the Bucks County municipalities of Buckingham Township, Solebury Township, and the Borough of New Hope.

Key Words: intersection analysis, roundabout, gateway, crosswalk, streetscape, access management, bike network, open space, environmental assessment
