Question 1

The prior, completed construction connecting Route 1 to Route 213 brought a significant increase in traffic. Why is it then assumed that the larger cloverleaf at Route 1 and 413 will not affect the traffic on 413, through Langhorne Borough, past Winchester Ave?

The previous construction from 2014, at the Maple Avenue/213 interchange, is not known to increase traffic. Any increase in traffic at that interchange is due to natural population growth and development. We do not see any additional major development coming into this area to create traffic generation beyond natural population growth.

Any potential development is included in our traffic numbers using DVRPC’s traffic volume model. So that takes into account any potential development increase in our traffic numbers. We are coordinating with DVRCP to get a verification that there have not been any additional changes to the traffic model since we last coordinated with them.
