Improving the linkage between land use and transportation is essential for the future of the US 322 corridor through Chester County. Inappropriate land uses coupled with inadequate infrastructure and transportation access will have negative impacts on the entire road network and quality of life for the western portion of Chester County. Working with the Chester County Planning Commission, the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) conducted a thorough analysis of the US 322 Corridor to assess land use, environmental policies and impacts, and transportation issues. The goals of the study include preserving the operating performance of the current transportation facilities, promoting multi-modal transportation solutions to help alleviate current and forecasted travel growth, furthering the goals of coordinated land use and transportation planning among municipalities, providing a policy rationale for future transportation improvements,and encouraging municipal actions to achieve a land use pattern that is reflective of smart growth principles.
