Take A Survey On Traffic-Calming Measures At St Albans Circle

NEWTOWN SQUARE, PA — Officials with Newtown Township, Gather in the Circle, and the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission are asking for community input on traffic-calming measures at St. Albans Circle.

Through mid November, speed bumps and flexible bollards are being piloted on the roundabout.

Flexbile bollards help define the outer edge of the circle, effectively "shrinking" it to slow traffic. The speed bumps will leave space for large vehicles like delivery trucks and SEPTA buses.

Overall, the pilot intends to make the circle safer for all and more pedestrian-friendly by slowing auto traffic and creating new pedestrian connections.

To enter the circle, drivers will need to slow to a safe speed, but all entrances, exits, and business driveways on the circle will remain open.

Residents can share their thoughts about the traffic-calming measures here.

"Your input will help us to shape these efforts so that the whole community can enjoy the benefits of walking, dining, shopping, and gathering in a vibrant St. Albans Circle area," officials said.

To allow for wintertime snow removal, the bollards and speed bumps are planned for removal at the end of the pilot demonstration.
