The corridor improvement represented by the US 202 Parkway project offered another chance for New Britain Township, Chalfont Borough, and New Britain Borough to join together to cooperatively explore and consider the future of Butler Avenue, the present alignment of US 202 as a Community Arterial - both transportation facility and community asset. Staff from the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) was charged to conduct the planning / visioning study with the direct involvement of the Butler Avenue municipalities, working with the project's Joint Steering Committee (JSC) of local municipal officials and stakeholders. DVRPC provided design and technical services to develop a conceptual streetscape and circulation plan to supply a unique but uniform image of the Butler Avenue corridor, while continuing to support its transportation needs across the three municipalities. At the direction of the JSC, DVRPC staff conducted a public meeting with property owners along the corridor to inform, take comments, and fine-tune the recommendations. Construction cost estimates and an implementation strategy were prepared for the streetscape and sidewalk elements contained in the final recommended plan.Geographic Area Covered: New Britain Township, Chalfont Borough, and New Britain Borough in Bucks County, PA
