Vision Roadway Projects
- These projects are high priority projects that do not currently have dedicated funding. These are
similar to those that have programmed funding and are important both locally and regionally. As additional funding becomes
available, these projects should be a priority for receiving funds. The Turnpike Interchange projects, in particular, are a
priority for moving from the list of Vision Roadway Projects to the list of Programmed Roadway Projects.
Future roadway projects should have context sensitive design that fits into the character of the community. They should also
include sidwalks, bike lanes, and other bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, when appropriate.
The Lafayette Street extension in Norristown and Plymouth leads to a project listed as aVision Roadway Project,
the Lafayette/Ridge interchange of I-276, the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Many of the county’s traffic bottlenecks are local
intersections, like this one at NorthWales Road and
Skippack Pike, that need additional turning lanes and
signal improvements.
New projects should be designed to sensitively fit
into the local context while providing pedestrian and
bicycling alternatives.
