  2. Route 41 Needs Study 1994 SAMI funding for PA 41 & OPB intersection secured by then state-Rep. Joseph Pitts in 1996

  3. SAMI roundabout first proposed 2002Smart Mobility, Inc.

  4. Roundabouts proposed in series 2002PA41 corridor alternative planSmart Mobility, Inc.

  5. Barry Crown & Faber MaunsellStudies 2004

  6. December 2004 London Grove Township requests PennDOT consider a roundabout for the SAMI project intersection rather than traditional signal.

  7. PennDOT proposes SAMI roundabout and others in series in 2005 Glatting Jackson & Michael Wallwork

  8. PennDOT confirms feasibility of roundabout in December 2006 Kittelson & Associates, Inc. “construction estimated for completion in Summer 2010”

  9. August 2007 “temporary signal” installed December 2008 - Pedestrian fatality just upstream from intersection, potentially the result of speeds from “temporary solution.” Safety still an issue: PA41 has dubious distinction as one of PA’s Top Five “Crash Corridors”

  10. August 2009 December 2008 TIP shows construction completion in 2011 MTJ Engineering, Inc. reviews PennDOT’s revised traffic projections, confirms 2-lane roundabout will function well through at least 2020

  11. August 2009 Environmental Clearance &Final Design no further along than in December 2006

  12. Both the FHWA & PennDOT agree: roundabouts “result in less congestion, less delay, lower maintenance expense, fewer accidents, fewer injuries and fatalities... While also improving, traffic flow, aesthetics, & air quality.”

  13. PennDOT Smart Transportation: 2008Wide Nodes, Narrow Roads Higher capacity, less delay

  14. Roundabouts play important role in economic development Right of Way Access Management Aesthetics Pedestrian friendly

  15. Safety – Potential Conflict Pointsregardless of # lanesroundabouts still safer than signals In U.S., studies where signals have been converted to roundabouts show decrease in both accident rates & severity of accidents.

  16. More than 45,000 acres permanently protected • Largest area of contiguous protected open space on East Coast • Municipal large acre ag zoning (light green) • London Grove Township working to update its comprehensive plan and enact associated land use changes

  17. Can we please get this show on the road!?
