Action Alert: Attend the Public Meeting for the Montgomery Ave Safety Action Plan - Feb 3, 6pm, LMT Admin Building. At this meeting: ✅ Learn about the planning process to improve safety/mobility on Montgomery Ave ✅ Review crash and traffic data ✅ Provide your input on data and safety concerns
In 2025, Lower Merion Township (in partnership with Narberth Boro) was awarded a $340,540 federal Safe Streets for All (SS4A) grant to conduct a traffic study of a seven (7) mile corridor of Montgomery Avenue (from Spring Mill Rd in the West to City Ave in the East).
The study looks at traffic volumes, crash incidents, as well as the physical characteristics of the 7-mile stretch to assess potential improvements (i.e. signal timing, intersection reconfiguration, etc.) that may enhance pedestrian, cyclist, and motorist safety.
What sets this effort apart from previous studies of Montgomery Avenue is the scope and scale of the study. Past initiatives previously focused on individual intersections or shorter segments of Montgomery Avenue without necessarily giving much thought or analysis to the ripple-effect impact on other intersections/segments of Montgomery Avenue.
This SS4A study is truly holistic in its design and ex*****on, looking at the entire 7-mile corridor and how changes to one area may impact other segments/intersections down the line.
A public meeting for the Montgomery Avenue Corridor Study will be held on February 3 at 6:00 PM in the Lower Merion Township Building Board Room.
At this meeting, updated study data will be presented, and the project team will be seeking public feedback on the data as well as residents’ experiences traveling along the Montgomery Avenue corridor. This session is intended to gather input and better understand how the corridor functions for those who live, work, and travel in the area.
The Lower Merion Township building is located at 75 E. Lancaster Ave. Ardmore, PA.
