Brewery Hosting Ardmore Master Plan Happy Hour Thursday

ARDMORE, PA — As the Lower Merion Township Building and Planning Department works to develop its 2022 Ardmore Master Plan, community members are invited to weigh in on the plan Thursday.

Tired Hands Brew Cafe is hosting the Ardmore Master Plan Happy Hour.

The happy hour will take place from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday at Tired Hands, 16 Ardmore Ave. in Ardmore.

Attendees will be able to speak with Lower Merion Township Planning staff, your local civic association members, and business leaders about Ardmore's future.

The 2022 Ardmore Master Plan is being undertaken to build on and update past successes, adjust to a new vision, and address new community concerns.

Led by the firm Kittelson & Associates, the plan aims to:

• Articulate a community vision for the Ardmore commercial area;
• Provide detailed zoning recommendations regarding street level uses, building heights, and sidewalk widths throughout the corridor to achieve the community vision and transition downtown Ardmore to a fully functioning 21st century mixed use environment;
• Identify sizes and locations for signature public spaces and identify smaller areas throughout the corridor for gathering and/or greening to create a network of green spaces linked by public walkways; and
• Identify opportunities to enhance multimodal transportation infrastructure in the study area. This includes integrating bus and rail facilities, and ongoing bicycle and pedestrian access initiatives into future plans to optimize transit use and improve bicycle and pedestrian access from North Ardmore to the business district.
• Work with PennDOT, SEPTA, Ardmore Initiative and other entities to identify responsibilities and resources for additional amenities, greening, circulation improvements and maintenance within the study area.
