PennDOT to Host Open House Public Meeting for Downingtown Station Project
King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to attend an open house plans display for the upcoming Downingtown Station Project on Wednesday, February 5, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM, at the Downingtown Borough Building Annex Conference Room at 4-6 W. Lancaster Avenue in Downingtown Borough, Chester County.
The Downingtown Station Project will construct a new train station that meets the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act along Brandywine Avenue (U.S. 322) between Boot Road and Chester Alley. The new station will include two high-level covered platforms for inbound and outbound trains that will be accessed via elevator/stair towers to the parking areas, a new railroad bridge, improved pedestrian access to cross under the railroad bridge, retaining walls, bike racks, sidewalks, surface parking lots, and an above ground stormwater management system. Additionally, access roads providing internal circulation will be included for passenger drop-off, north and south of the railroad tracks.
The purpose of the open house meeting is to provide information regarding the project, including anticipated station design, layout, and access; proposed roadway detours during construction; and anticipated construction activities, sequence, and schedule. The public will also have an opportunity to offer feedback on the project.
If you have questions, need additional information, or have special needs requiring assistance prior to the upcoming meeting, please contact Lori Cole, AICP at 717-710-2156 or lcole@jmt.com.
For those unable to attend, a virtual meeting option depicting the same meeting contents will be available on the Downingtown Station project page following the open house plans display meeting.
