The evaluations summarized in this report were performed in support of PennDOT's statewide effort to promote the establishment of formal access management ordinances for state and local highways. A case study of Newtown Street Road (PA 252) and West Chester Pike (PA 3) in the vicinity of the proposed Ellis Preserve Town Square development was conducted and a conceptual plan prepared for the study area as a tangible illustration of the benefits of planning and implementing access management strategies, and as a means of combating congestion and enhancing traffic safety. In addition to providing a conceptual plan for the study area, the study also analyzed the existing access management regulations in the township's zoning and subdivision and land development ordinances. Where regulatory gaps were found, recommendations with sample ordinance language were provided.Geographic Area Covered: Newtown Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania
Key Words: Highway access management, congestion management, traffic safety, crash mitigation, corridor planning, model ordinance, growth management
