Wawa Land Development Will Be Hot Topic at Meeting

After hearing a traffic study regarding the new Wawa at last week's board of commissioners business meeting, the land development at Red Lion Rd. & Philmont Ave. will be discussed at tonight's meeting at 7:30 p.m. in the municipal building.

Lower Moreland traffic engineer Joseph DeSantis explained that building the convenient store will account for a 2-percent increase in traffic. A right-hand turn lane from Philmont onto Red Lion could reduce traffic by 20-percent.

Even so, residents are still not pleased with the results. This topic is the first of many to be discussed tonight.

The following is the posted agenda from lowermoreland.org:
