Philadelphia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to attend a live virtual public meeting on Thursday, April 18, for the upcoming project to improve travel and safety at 10 intersections along Washington Lane between Route 309 (Cheltenham Avenue) and Stenton Avenue in Philadelphia.

The proposed scope of work includes installing pedestrian countdown timers at signalized intersections; converting signals from pedestal-mounted to mast arm; constructing curb bump-outs at high pedestrian volume intersections; coordinating arterial signals; and installing ADA curb ramps and a flashing beacon and raised crosswalk at 76th Street/Blair Road.

As part of PennDOT's public outreach program, the department encourages the public to attend the live virtual public meeting on Thursday, April 18, beginning at 7:00 PM, by clicking on this Microsoft Live Teams meeting link prior to the presentation start time. The department's design team will deliver a project presentation before opening the meeting to questions using the platform's Q&A feature.

Please note that internet access and a computer or mobile device are required to view the virtual meeting. Anyone with special needs or requiring special aid is requested to contact
PennDOT Project Manager Nathan Parrish.

Members of the public who are unable to attend the online meeting can view the recording and a copy of the materials on the project webpage following the presentation. The public can also provide feedback using the online comment form.
