Committee recommends extending parking restrictions on Warminster Road after resident safety concerns
Summary
Police Chief Scott Bendig told the Upper Moreland Public Health & Safety Committee that residents of the Round Meadow neighborhood reported difficulty safely exiting their streets; the Traffic Safety Unit recommended extending parking restrictions along Warminster Road and adding signage, and the committee recommended the Board advertise an ordinance amendment on June 1.
The Upper Moreland Township Public Health & Safety Committee on May 11 recommended that the Board of Commissioners advertise an amendment to township parking rules to extend restrictions along Warminster Road.
Police Chief Scott Bendig told the committee that residents of the Round Meadow community raised concerns about their ability to safely exit the neighborhood. He said the township Traffic Safety Unit studied the area and recommends extending the existing parking restrictions the entire length of Warminster Road and installing signage to improve visibility at intersections and access points.
The committee’s recorded recommendation asks the Board to authorize advertisement of an ordinance amendment at its June 1, 2026 regular meeting. The committee did not vote on a final ordinance; the Board will consider the advertised amendment as the next formal step.
If the Board authorizes advertisement, the amendment would move to the public notice phase and a subsequent hearing before any ordinance change could be adopted. The committee record did not include a proposed ordinance number, a precise start date for any new restrictions, or a map; those details were not specified and will need to be provided when the amendment is drafted and advertised.
The committee’s recommendation appears in the meeting minutes as a formal referral for Board consideration.
