LOWER MERION TWP, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is set to hold a virtual public meeting regarding its planned improvements for the intersection of U.S. 30 (Lancaster Avenue) and Remington Road in Lower Merion Township, Montgomery County. The meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, December 3, reflects PennDOT’s commitment to enhancing roadway safety and efficiency while engaging community members in the planning process.
The proposed project aims to improve traffic flow and safety at this critical intersection by widening the roadway to include dedicated left turn lanes on U.S. 30 at Remington Road. In addition, new traffic signal equipment will be installed, and ADA-compliant curb ramps will be constructed to accommodate all pedestrians, thereby aligning with modern accessibility standards.
PennDOT underscores the significance of public participation in shaping such infrastructure projects. As part of its outreach efforts, the department invites residents and local stakeholders to join the live virtual meeting, which will commence at 7:00 PM on the designated date. The meeting will be conducted via Microsoft Live Teams, and attendees are encouraged to connect ahead of the start time.
During the meeting, PennDOT’s design team will present detailed plans of the project, followed by an interactive session where participants can pose questions through the platform’s Q&A feature. This format is designed to facilitate a comprehensive dialogue, allowing community members to voice their concerns and suggestions directly to project leaders.
Participation in the meeting requires internet access and a compatible computer or mobile device. PennDOT urges individuals with special needs or those requiring specific assistance to contact Project Manager Nathan Parrish in advance to ensure adequate accommodations are made.
This initiative is a part of PennDOT’s broader strategy to upgrade transportation infrastructure across the region, focusing on safety improvements and traffic management. By engaging the public in the planning stages, PennDOT seeks to ensure that the project not only meets technical specifications but also aligns with community expectations and requirements.
Residents of Lower Merion Township and surrounding areas are encouraged to participate actively in the meeting, contributing to the discourse on local transportation development and ensuring the project addresses the community’s needs effectively.
