Cheltenham SD plans speed cushions, raised crosswalks near four elementary schools
Summary
District presenters described traffic-calming measures planned around Shelton M, Glenside, Myers and Winco elementaries, including speed cushions, raised crosswalks and new signage; timing and implementation will be coordinated with the township.
District staff presented a traffic-calming proposal that would add speed cushions, raised crosswalks and upgraded signage at several elementary schools in the district.
At Shelton M Elementary staff described speed cushions on Front Street plus upgraded signage and refreshed road markings. At Glenside Elementary the plan includes speed cushions and a raised crosswalk described as a graduated form of cushion. At Myers Elementary staff proposed adding speed cushions on the three roads that surround the building. At Winco Elementary the plan would add two speed cushions and a raised crosswalk at the corner of Rice's Mill and Barker (name reported from the discussion).
Mister Snyder, the district staff member presenting the measures, said the township will perform the work and that the district's role is to provide funding. Committee members asked about timing; Snyder said his assumption was that the work would be easier to complete when school is not in session but that district staff did not have a definitive schedule and that timing will depend on the township's project plan. The committee invited board members and liaison-group members to forward questions or concerns prior to a liaison meeting scheduled for the 16th.
The transcript records these items as planned traffic-calming measures and funding commitments to the township; no formal approvals or construction contracts were recorded during this meeting.
