103217 | Main Street, 6th Street, and CSX Crossing Improvement (Darby Borough, Delaware County)

The Main Street-CSX rail line grade crossing (US DOT #140641S) in Darby Borough needs to be updated and may include improvements such as new gates, lights, traffic signals (if warranted), drainage, and improvements to the crossing surface and roadway for all users at and around the grade crossing. This grade crossing currently poses significant safety concerns as it accommodates train traffic from a major interstate freight line throughout the day, vehicular traffic from two roads (Main St. and Sixth St.), and pedestrian traffic from nearby schools and retail establishments. Adding to the crossing’s complexity is SEPTA’s trolley route 11 that operates within the Main St. cartway and bisects the freight rail line (with trolley stops located on both sides of the grade crossing). The grade crossing was the subject of a two phase study conducted by DVRPC and overseen by a broad-based steering committee (see DVRPC publication #11012 and #12014).

Limits: Between 5th and 7th Streets
