The US 422 Corridor Master Plan represents a collaborative vision for sustainable land use and transportation for 24 diverse communities along the US 422 Corridor. The planning area includes over 200 square miles in portions of Montgomery, Chester and Berks Counties. The plan was initiated by the US Route 422 Corridor Coalition, managed by DVRPC and guided by a Steering Committee including the three Counties (Montgomery, Chester and Berks), PennDOT District 5-0, PennDOT District 6-0, GVF Transportation, SEPTA, the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, and Pottstown Area Rapid Transit. The Corridor Master Plan examines 2030 land use and transportation trends, as well as a 2030 Sustainable Alternative incorporating elements of Smart Transportation, Smart Growth and the Keystone Principles. Strategies for sustainability were developed, reviewed and arrayed in a program for implementation by state and local governments, as well as area developers and stakeholders. Consideration of these land use and transportation strategies was integrated into public surveys and the public involvement activities of the study. Finally, a model resolution for endorsement of the Corridor Plan was provided for consideration by municipal government officials throughout the corridor. The Final Report was completed following an individualized, direct-outreach effort with municipalities in the corridor during spring / summer 2010. These meetings had a dual purpose: to garner final comments on the draft-final report (released in December 2009), and to encourage / strengthen local government's partnership - to implement the land use and community planning elements of the Master Plan.Geographic Area Covered: Portions of Montgomery, Chester and Berks Counties including 24 municipalities
