Design board approves Villanova sidewalk and County Line Road lighting plan
Summary
Villanova’s proposal for a new sidewalk and 16 Gothic‑style dark‑sky‑compliant lights along County Line Road and Spring Mill Road was approved; the plan includes a vegetated swale and a pedestrian link to the SEPTA station.
The Radnor Township Design Review Board approved a Villanova University plan to install 16 Gothic‑style, dark‑sky‑compliant light fixtures and a new sidewalk along County Line Road and Spring Mill Road.
Riley Lurivier of Villanova outlined a photometrics plan showing light levels along the proposed sidewalk and described a vegetated swale to be planted beside the new pavement for stormwater treatment. Lurivier said the proposed fixtures match the Gothic style shown earlier in the meeting and will serve a new pedestrian connection.
Board members asked about the nearest residences and whether lighting would intrude on private property; Lurivier pointed out that the nearest properties include campus residence halls and a multi‑family structure owned by the university and said the design minimizes spill light. Board members also noted that the sidewalk will create a continuous path from the SEPTA station to campus pathways.
The board moved to approve DRB 2026-28. The motion carried by voice vote; specific roll‑call tallies were not provided in the transcript.
