It is challenging to recap a year like 2020, since it was such an unprecedented and challenging year. We are happy to report that the Planning Commission was able to pivot and quickly adapt by working remotely. Despite the difficulties of the year, we also continued to implement Landscpaes3 successfully, working with our partners and the public to keep Chester County a great place for our residents, businesses, and visitors. Here are a few highlights of our accomplishments in 2020, organized by the Landscapes vision and our six goals.
Could you please provide an update on the Route 30 bypass project at Airport Rd? The truck traffic going through the village of Sadsburyville has gotten far worse over the past year or two. There was a presentation on putting in a east and west bound entrance. When will this project happen?
The project is currently in the design phase. Construction funding is programmed in the region’s Transportation Improvements Program (TIP) for FY27, meaning that at this point construction may begin in calendar year 2028. The funding scenario may push that back, or possibly move it forward.
