Earles lake and 9 acres of wooded land is slated for sell to a developer. Earles lake is in both Newtown and Radnor township. In an effort to preserve the beauty of the site, the wetland, the wooded land and the flood control it provides, we propose that the two townships step in and negotiate a possible conservation easement.

EVERY morning, a traffic jam occurs on Lancaster Ave near King of Prussia (or "KoP") Road and the 476 ramps while driving East toward Villanova. The primary reason is that there are only two lanes for through traffic and two left turn lanes for KoP road. The two KoP left turn lanes are never congested and one turn lane would suffice. Why not eliminate the outer left turn late and make that third lane on Lancaster nearest the median into a 476 North Only lane that runs across KoP road and feeds directly into the subsequent two left turn lanes for 476 North? Alternatively, the third lane could be made into an optional KoP left turn OR 476 North straight lane so long as the signal lights would be adjusted as necessary. Either option would significantly reduce morning congestion in this portion of Lancaster Ave and make life better for all travelers using this road. It would also help improve emergency vehicle response times by reducing the congestion that can impede their travel.
