The roundabout will fit in the footprint of the existing intersection. Additionally, there should be limited parking effects on Bellevue due to funerals thanks to the splitter islands. This is something we will look into further.
Why are some of the property lines highlighted?
The property lines that are shown are just from the property mosaic that we have developed currently.
Nick with flooring doctor concerned about access to my garage and loading area on my property 1732 superhighway.
The top entrance to the parking lot from the service road is being maintained as well as the entrance from Park Avenue. There is only a little change currently projected, however this is still in the preliminary engineering phase, so there may be changes made yet.
I live on Langhorne-Yardley Road, near the intersection with N. Flowers Mill. I go into Langhorne Borough on a daily basis. By taking N. Flowers Mill, I can drive directly onto US 1, then take the service road past the gas station at S. Bellevue and continue on the service road to Hill Ave. I turn onto Hill Ave from the service road to go to the places I need to get to without ever going into the heart of Langhorne. Will I still be able to do this? If not, it won’t only be me going into the heart of the already congested center of Langhorne Borough. There are at least six large housing developments above my home, and all of those people who use the same route I do to avoid the congestion will be forced into the borough as well.
You would get on US 1 Southbound and then immediately get off at the 413 interchange. Then, you would proceed straight through to Gillum Avenue and that would put you on Hill Avenue after three intersections. So, you would be back on your path without having to go into Langhorne Borough.
Under the current plan will homes on Route 413, Central Avenue and Bellevue Avenue be impacted?
The project is still in the environmental clearance phase so we do not have a determination of actual right-of-way impacts, at this time, that we can state definitively.
I live near the intersection of Bellevue Avenue and West Highland Avenue, where a roundabout is proposed. Will this roundabout affect my property or any adjacent properties?
We are currently evaluating right-of-way impacts, really at this stage we don’t look to closely at linework to adjacent properties, so we can’t really say one way or another at this time because we’re still working through the design. We’re not at that level of detail of design yet. We’re not anticipating any total takes in this area by any means though. But there is likely some minor strip takes along the four quadrants. The intersection itself is fairly large now so it did help accommodate a standard roundabout better than if it was a smaller intersection to begin with.
You have a service road going from Hulmeville Ave to Hill Ave, is this for the driveway that belongs to the house (505 Hulmeville Ave) that is 3’ from the road. Wouldn’t it be cheaper just to buy the house then putting in a new road and upkeep for this road? This is the only house that does not have any yard between it and the road and would make sense to take it down.
At this time Right-Of-Way impacts have not been determined, and we are still coordinating with PennDOT and with the municipalities with regards to which sections of the frontage road will be maintained and which will be turned potentially into a shared use path. We are still in preliminary engineering at this time, so some of these decisions are still being studied. This stretch is proposed to be maintained for that house because that’s the driveway, that’s accessing it from that portion of service road, but without going out of our way to take additional houses for no other reason that is not in our purview.
Can the light at Bridgetown Pike and 413 be evaluated since that is a part of the backup issue for 213 and 413?
That traffic signal is beyond project limits. So, that would have to be a separate study on a separate project.
Sorry if this was asked already but has there been an impact study done on potential property value loss due to this construction? I live very close to where the Highland circle would be.
There was no detailed study done regarding property value impacts due to the construction; that is not typically part of an environmental assessment
This plan makes everyone who lives on the south side of Route 1, in the Parkland and Langhorne area, take East Highland Avenue. Is there going to be any improvement to this road (E. Highland Ave)? It is not the safest road to travel on as it has no shoulders, it’s hilly and has several sharp turns.
Specific to East Highland Avenue, that is beyond the project limits, so it’s really not being looked at directly. That can be obviously passed along to PennDOT for them to look at if it is a part of their network of roadways.
