Has there been consideration of closing the Bellevue exits and expanding the Maple Ave exits to preserve the historic district?

If the question is with regards to removing the proposed interchange or not having any interchange in the Pine Street / Bellevue area and pushing all the traffic to Maple Avenue, that wasn’t directly looked at. The reality is 213 interchange and 213 itself heading into the borough is heavily traveled so pushing all the traffic from the 413 Bellevue Area to Maple Avenue would only make Maple Avenue interchange by itself worse because you are taking two options and consolidating it into one interchange.

This would only worsen traffic. It’s better to have them split and balanced and make improvements with 413 and all the traffic stays the same, it’s just whether they go 213 or 413. The previous project limit did stay out of the historic district but with input from Langhorne Borough and their additional items they wanted the project to address, we did in collaboration with Langhorne Borough; at their request, we extended the project limits to go into the historic district. This was done to address traffic calming concerns and pedestrian access concerns between Flowers Avenue and 213.
