THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM AND NEED FOR

BETTER PLANNING
Traffic congestion in the US 422 Corridor has been
increasing in recent years. There are many reasons why.
The corridor’s pace of growth picked up dramatically after
the opening of US 422, driven by a wave of commuters
willing to drive longer distances for more land and housing
at lower prices. From 1990 to 2000, the population of
many communities in the corridor increased at double- and
even triple-digit rates. So too, scattered land development
consumed vast acreage. The development pattern that
emerged is almost totally dependent on the automobile
for mobility. As a result, the subsequent demand for
transportation facilities and services has greatly exceeded
any agency’s ability to add sufficient roadway capacity.
Traffic problems are a direct result of land development.

Land use patterns influence travel patterns and largely

together various organizations with one common goal:
The Guiding Principles for Smart Transportation include:
■ Tailor solutions to the context

■ Tailor the approach
■ Plan in collaboration with the community
■ Plan for alternative modes
■ Use sound professional judgment
■ Scale the solution to the size of the problem
A number of smart corridor themes, consistent with the

Guiding Principles, were considered during development
of the Master Plan.
Leverage and preserve existing investments – The planning

area includes a number of regional transportation routes,
including US 422, the Pennsylvania Turnpike, US 202, a
number of state routes, the Schuylkill River Trail, and the
potential future R6 Regional Rail line. The area also has
an extensive network of arterial and collector roadways.
This study examined ways to maximize the utility of these
investments and expand on transportation alternatives in
the corridor so that these investments continue to serve in
an efficient manner.
One of the tenets of Smart Growth is investing (and

reinvesting) in older, developed areas. Redevelopment,

multi-use trails for pedestrians and bicyclists. This plan

best possible alternatives for improving safety, access,
travel times and quality of each of these modes of travel.
The US 422 Corridor is attracting major retail development.

other important routes. In Upper Providence Township, Figure 8). Current daily traffic counts for key roadways
throughout the corridor are shown on Figure 9. To meet the access needs for the new land developments
in the corridor, a variety of transportation investments
have been proposed. These include reconfiguring

as a potential extension to SEPTA’s R6 Regional Rail line
is being seriously considered, using the existing tracks
and right-of-way of Norfolk Southern’s Harrisburg line.

Montgomery County recently completed a feasibility study
of the R6 extension.
Adding capacity to the US 422 expressway would be

expensive and will be limited to projects relatively modest
in scope unless new sources of funding can be found.

CHAPTER 3
CONSTRAINTS ■ Transportation ■ Land Use

➥ Peak period traffic congestion is frequent ➥ The major retail destinations and employment
There are a number of notable constraints that restrict or ➥ Crash rates are 150% higher than the state average centers in the corridor are single use areas
limit current activity and are impediments to sustainability at a number of locations
and a high quality of life (see Figure 11): ➥ The Schuylkill River and Valley Forge National ■ Natural Resources
Historical Park restrict transportation development ➥ Wetlands and floodplains limit mobility and land use
➥ There is no passenger rail service west of options
Norristown
➥ The only transit service between downtowns is ■ Quality of Life
infrequent bus service ➥ The nuclear power plant in Limerick is a visual
➥ The long-planned Intermodal Transportation Center intrusion in the landscape
in Paoli still does not exist ➥ A large percentage of the population in Norristown
➥ Large, low-density, single-use development patterns and Pottstown are disadvantaged
mean limited mobility options
Located at the Sanatoga exit, Philadelphia Premium Outlets is an example of a large, single-use, freestanding development with few
transportation options. The cooling towers of Limerick nuclear power plant can be seen in the distance.
