I am extremely concerned about SAFETY in Langhorne Borough since the vast majority of traffic under the current plan will all land in Langhorne Borough, Existing traffic during rush hours results in traffic tie ups. (I would encourage PennDOT to witness this in real time.) Human nature being what it is, we have seen frustrated drivers peel off into neighborhoods to avoid the 213/413 light. We are a walking town of neighborhoods. Can PennDOT ensure the safety of children on bikes, parents with children and strollers who will likely confronted with increased traffic in all adjacent neighborhoods?

As part of our traffic study, we also do a safety assessment. We do a comparison of the build and no build conditions. It is more focused on vehicular traffic, because traffic is not increasing just being redistributed, we are showing no increase in expected crashes.
