The Abington Separated Bike Lanes Action Plan (the Action Plan) will outline the path forward for the Township to continue to advance the Abington Master Bicycle Plan through the identification and prioritization of separated bike lane corridors for implementation. The Action Plan will focus on improving bicycle facilities that connect to SEPTA regional rail stations, by creating safer and more attractive facilities to encourage more cyclists throughout the township, and by including destinations and transit in neighboring municipalities in the separated bike lane routes determinations.
This project is funded by a Pennsylvania Transportation & Community Development Initiative (TCDI) grant from the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) in the amount of $75,000. WSP is the lead consultant in the development of the plan.
The Action Plan will build on the Abington Master Bicycle Plan and the implementation the Township has been spearheading over the last eight years and respond to the varied needs and concerns of the community that the current Master Bicycle Plan does not adequately address.
