Summary

After a community complaint and removal of prior calming measures, PennDOT’s LTAP provided no-cost options and recommended Montgomery Township adopt a traffic-calming policy; staff will present a draft to the Public Safety Committee on Feb. 4 and then discuss Grays Lane–specific measures.

Township staff briefed supervisors on a PennDOT Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) review of Grays Lane following public concerns about a prior traffic-calming installation and its subsequent removal.

Chief Peoples said LTAP provided options at no cost to the township and recommended the adoption of a formal traffic-calming policy that sets eligibility criteria and requires community buy-in. Staff noted typical qualifying features include a 25 mph zone and side-street status; not every street will qualify. Because the township already has traffic-study data for Grays Lane, staff said the township could move more quickly on that street than on a location without prior studies.

Staff recommended the highway safety unit’s draft policy go to the Public Safety Committee on Feb. 4, where the committee will review policy language and consider the LTAP options for Grays Lane. Board members asked that the process include resident notification and an open hearing after the implementation plan is developed.
