Public Safety committee previews 260-page traffic study and approves added lights and signage at West Main/Susquehanna crossing
Summary
Public Safety received a final draft traffic study and recommended additional signage and signal lights for the West Main at Susquehanna pedestrian crossing; committee also referred an employee parking request to the parking authority.
LANSDALE, Pa. — Lansdale Borough’s Public Safety Committee on March 5 reviewed the final draft of a traffic study and recommended immediate safety improvements at the West Main and Susquehanna pedestrian crossing.
Committee members said they received the Penone traffic-study draft — roughly 260 pages — and expect OneDrive distribution for council review. The committee intends to schedule a public meeting with the consultant in April to solicit resident feedback and to identify low-cost, short-term safety improvements and longer-term capital items that could be included in a 2026 capital plan.
Following a business-owner request, police and staff inspected the West Main at Susquehanna intersection and recommended increasing crossing visibility: additional signage, restriping the crosswalk and increasing the number of lights from one to four. The committee said those measures were already in progress.
The committee approved forwarding a request for a handicap parking space at 434 Walnut St. to full council for approval and referred an employee-parking inquiry from small-business workers to the parking authority, which staff said is working with SEPTA about commuter pass availability.
Public Safety said fire-marshal and fire-department representation were not available at the committee meeting due to scheduling conflicts.
