 The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) is conducting a Regional Vision Zero safety study on Lincoln Highway, between Toth Avenue and Bondsville Road.
As part of this study, DVRPC is conducting a survey to better understand the area. People who live, travel, work, or go to school on or near Lincoln Highway are encouraged to share their feedback. DVRPC and the Transportation Management Association of Chester County are also partnering to complete in-person surveys along Lincoln Highway this spring. Once the study is completed, the results will provide us with valuable data for developing safety improvement recommendations for the corridor and applying for future grant applications. Take the Regional Vision Zero Lincoln Highway survey to share your thoughts on how to make the area safer and enter to win a $50 Visa gift card.       Zoning Ordinance Draft (PDF)
