The project is an important project for connection of pedestrians and bikers to the 104 Bus line. There are many residents and business employees who use the 104 bus line; the line runs along West Chester Pike. Those that work South on PA 252 currently walk up the shoulder of PA 252 between Troop Farm Road and West Chester Pike. Many areas along the road have little to no shoulder. The project will put in a pedestrian walkway connection through an easement the Township has on the Dunwoody property to connect PA 3 (West Chester Pike) to Cornerstone Drive (which Troop Farm Road becomes as it crosses PA 252). Much of Cornerstone Drive already has sidewalks, these would be extended. In addition the project will extend the bike lanes on Troop Farm Road on to Cornerstone Drive to and through the easement on Dunwoody to West Chester Pike. In addition, to connecting to the bus route. The project will connect approximately ¼ of the Township residents who can walk or bike to shopping and restaurants. This connection has the potential to reduce traffic on PA 252 and West Chester Pike as people use this connection to access a variety of needs.
