422 Corridor

Planning the future of the US 422 Corridor

US 422 Master Plan

The US 422 Transportation Master Plan is improving access to and efficiency of the region's transportation system by analyzing the conditions of the network, identifying the mobility needs throughout the corridor and strengthening the linkage between land use and transportation. Improve mobility and safety and mitigate congestion along the corridor.

Description

Significant residential and commercial development activities continue to change the landscape of this corridor. The vitality of this corridor is also contributing to redevelopment opportunities for under utilized parcels. Traffic congestion continues to increase and can now be found in both directions along US 422 during the peak period. Many organizations, both public and private have recognized the need to improve the transportation infrastructure in this corridor. Significant investments have already been made at various locations which begin to address these transportation problems and many studies have been done which identify other potential improvements.

An important component of this project is to review the existing and proposed land use policies, access management approaches and development controls among the corridor municipalities with the goals of supporting the resulting transportation plan and linking land use and transportation policies and implementation activities.

The US 422 Master Plan is an effort by The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) and consultants McCormick Taylor. All study materials posted on this site have been produced by DVRPC and McCormick Taylor. Images were provided by McCormick Taylor.


Summary Report: Draft-Final

At the project's conclusion, Barry Seymour, DVRPC's Executive Director, suggested that the plan's reporting document be left "open" (i.e., Draft-Final) to accompany a campaign of municipal outreach meetings to take place during the Spring of 2010. These meetings will offer a final opportunity to inform and garner comments - to encourage/strengthen local government's partnership in advancing the plan. Following those activities, DVRPC will prepare the Final Report.
