Commission to request PennDOT traffic‑safety study covering Crafton Boulevard
Summary
Commission staff said they and a commissioner will meet PennDOT in March; PennDOT performs traffic‑safety studies free upon request and will likely scope work covering Crafton Boulevard, Dinsmore and parts of Steuben toward the historic district.
Commission staff told the Planning Commission that PennDOT will perform a traffic‑safety study for the commission at no charge and that staff and a commissioner have a meeting with PennDOT scheduled for March.
Staff member (S5) said PennDOT "do traffic safety studies for free upon request," and that the agency will outline its preferred scope of work when the parties meet. S5 described the likely study area as the portion of Crafton Boulevard down toward Dinsmore and potentially following Steuben through the historic district. The chair and several commissioners welcomed PennDOT’s involvement and discussed possible outcomes and participation.
S5 cautioned the study will focus on roads PennDOT maintains; the commission can expect recommendations for traffic safety based on PennDOT’s scope. Commissioners suggested having a commissioner or staff attend the March meeting; S4 volunteered to participate if available.
Next steps: staff will meet with PennDOT in March to define the scope; the commission expects a report or recommendations from PennDOT following that meeting.
