Cranberry Initiates Traffic Calming Program

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA — With the start of the school year fast approaching, township officials are asking people to slow down when driving.

Cranberry's Slow Down Campaign is inspired by the national “Keep Kids Alive Drive 25” program. It is designed to make streets safer for all who walk, cycle, play, drive, and ride. This is done by educating and actively engaging citizens in a common commitment to create safer streets for the benefit of all.

Using radar speed signs, hundreds of yard signs will be placed throughout various neighborhoods, as well as an increased police presence from township police. The campaign will begin on Aug. 22, coinciding with the start of the Seneca Valley School District year.

The program is funded through local business sponsorships and the Cranberry Township Community Chest.

Participating neighborhoods include Autumn Hill, Bristol Creek, Clearbrooke, Cranberry Heights, Cranberry West Crossings, Ehrman Farms, Freedom Woods, Grandshire, Hampshire Woods, Hazelwood Farms, Highland Village, Hunters Creek, Manor Creek, Meeder, Oakview Estates, Orchard Park, Park Place, Scenic Ridge, Spring Meadows, The Glen Woodside, Winchester Farms, Wincester Lakes, Woodbine Estates, and Woodlands.
