Borough Manager Mr. Keller told the Committee of the Whole on Nov. 5 that a traffic study has been issued for the Robinson and Shoemaker intersection to determine whether PennDOT warrants a traffic signal that could be interconnected and timed with the Route 100 signal. Manager Keller said increased development and voluntary developer contributions could help the borough meet any grant match requirements. He said a traffic circle was ruled out because of tractor-trailer traffic and land impacts.
Keller also reported the borough completed paving, new curbing and corrected stormwater drainage on downtown parking lots 3 and 4 as part of long-range downtown improvements.
Staff said the RFP for borough engineer is due Nov. 7; selection committee volunteers include Councilor Monastra and other council members and staff. Keller noted a public open house hosted by DVRPC on the Pottstown Train Station area plan is scheduled the next night and described parks improvements including planting 279 trees at Riverfront Park.
No formal council action was recorded beyond the RFP timeline and ongoing studies and repairs.
