LOWER MERION â The City Avenue Special Services District this week announced that Phase II of its long-term Streetscape and Safety Improvement Program is now complete. The goal of these improvements is to enhance the overall safety and vibrancy along the City Ave corridor, while also creating multi-modal access for pedestrians, bicyclists and people of all abilities.
Phase II work focused on enhancements to pedestrian safety and traffic calming, including the installation of thermal pedestrian detection, critical improvements to crosswalks such as five-second lead intervals for pedestrians, visibly improved stamped crosswalks and solar-powered flashing beacons, and the installation of dynamic speed feedback âSpeedminderâ signs. Stormwater collection and drainage improvements, along with intersection upgrades were also completed.
