Three crashes are reported over the summer on Walnut Lane at Morris Street, involving vehicles traveling north. These crashes damage the bus shelter at Morris Street.
Nearby residents reach out to the City requesting safety improvements.
The City begins to evaluate crash data, collect speed data, and understand traffic safety issues. Preliminary meetings with stakeholders in the neighborhood, including Four Freedoms Tenant Council, are held.
The City installs reflective chevron signs on Walnut Lane at Morris Street. This quick-build improvement helps to make drivers traveling north aware of the curve in the road.
Community engagement begins. Neighbors and stakeholders give feedback on traffic safety issues and potential design tools via an online survey, pop-up events, and door-to-door canvassing. Design work begins, responding to community feedback.
A draft conceptual design plan for Walnut Lane is developed. It factors in community feedback from the survey.
The draft plan is shared for feedback from technical partners (SEPTA, PennDOT, and the City’s Department of Streets) as well as for public feedback. Feedback is collected through an online survey, door-to-door canvassing, pop-up events, and community or RCO meetings.
The draft conceptual design plan is revised based on feedback by technical partners and community members. The final draft plan is shared back.
