Do the right thing and avoid disrupting neighborhood streets and use of eminent domain of people’s homes. Try relocation of the roundabout to the West Ave Interchange and keep it scaled so that these plots of land WITHOUT HOMES can be used here. In all circumstances proposed DO NOT USE PINE AVE/ROUTE 413 for cross traffic. We are a small walkable community, PINE AVE is where the LIBRARY is, and the PLAYGROUND and our brain-injury school population uses Pine Ave in their wheelchairs to be active in the community, go to stores, go to library. PINE AVE is the heart of Langhorne Borough. Your family wouldn’t like this disruption so don’t do it to US.

Do the right thing and avoid disrupting neighborhood streets and use of eminent domain of people’s homes. Try relocation of the roundabout to the West Ave Interchange and keep it scaled so that these plots of land WITHOUT HOMES can be used here. In all circumstances proposed DO NOT USE PINE AVE/ROUTE 413 for cross traffic. We are a small walkable community, PINE AVE is where the LIBRARY is, and the PLAYGROUND and our brain-injury school population uses Pine Ave in their wheelchairs to be active in the community, go to stores, go to library.

Pine Street is expected to have a relatively minor 4% traffic increase (85 additional vehicles out of 1330 total vehicles) south of Flowers Avenue in the PM Peak versus the existing condition. PA 413 / Pine Street is a State-owned principal arterial that provides traffic movement through the region between Penndel and Newtown in the existing condition. 

The proposed project will not change this travel pattern.  An interchange at West Interchange Road will completely disrupt travel patterns in the area and put undue stress on roads as traffic would move from the West Interchange Road area to PA 413 to head to Newtown or Penndel. 

The proposed design includes bicycle and pedestrian accommodations not currently present along PA 413 to connect Langhorne Manor and Langhorne and connects areas with sidewalks and a sidepath to improve safety for bicyclists and pedestrians.  Additionally, PennDOT is coordinating with Langhorne Borough to include traffic calming and pedestrian safety improvements from the Flowers Avenue intersection north to the PA 213 (Maple Avenue) intersection.
