Traffic Calming: What’s It All About?

Haverford Civic Association board member Barbara Cohen put together this handy guide to understanding the problem and possible solutions.

Lower Merion Township is preparing recommendations for Montgomery Avenue traffic calming measures, based on the recent traffic study. A public presentation of these recommendations is now expected in September. We will notify you of the date as soon as we receive it.

Community input is critical! Traffic calming measures can be controversial. Some may view a measure as a necessity; others may view it as a nuisance that interferes with their commute; still others may fear that residential streets will be used for short cuts.

The following provides information about traffic calming measures to help HCA members provide input to township staff on the upcoming traffic calming recommendations.

Developing Haverford Station

The Haverford Civic Association hopes to interest a developer/contractor in rehabbing and tenanting empty spaces of the historic Haverford Station.

This train station is owned by AMTRAK, who, in exchange for repairs and improvements, would be willing to make a long-term, below-market master lease. After rehabilitation, the developer would then lease space out at the station to develop cash flow.

With the right team, members of the community could potentially become investors in the project.

Please share this post with any area developers you may know!
