Blooming Glen Road Restrictions Will Remain
January 21, 2009
After considering comments from residents, the Board of Supervisors decided to keep the one-way restrictions on Blooming Glen Road indefinitely at their January 20, 2009, Regular Meeting. Blooming Glen Road will be remain one-way from Branch Road to the last residential driveway north of Moods Bridge. The Board cited the increased safety of one-way traffic as the most important concern in making the decision.
Improvements to Be Made
In response to several comments, improvements to the road and signage to make the one-way designation more pronounced and provide limited access to the Township Park will be completed in conjunction with the Bucks County Community College expansion construction.
Enforcement
The Board also said they would consider the use of video enforcement of the one-way designation. In addition, they will consider providing more parking on the Branch Road side of the Township Athletic Fields and Park facility.
Background on the Restrictions
When Moods Covered Bridge on Blooming Glen Road re-opened in early 2008, it did so with a one-way restriction. After completing a traffic study, East Rockhill Township Supervisors, concerned about sight distance deficiencies, voted to restrict traffic across the bridge to allow northbound traffic only from Branch Road to the Glenwood Shopping Center. The Supervisors agreed to revisit their decision in 2009 to consider any new information after implementation.
