Lower Dolington RD Pedestrian Safety Discussion

Mack's Newtown Voice

At the April 24, 2023, Meet Mack Monday Zoom meeting, Cindy Neutson expressed concern about speeding and pedestrian safety on Lower Dolington Road (LDR), especially along Roberts Ridge Park. Frank McCarron suggested that the speed limit be reduced to 25 MPH as it was on Newtown-Yardley Rd and Sycamore St. I am not against this idea but I suggested that the best time to bring up this issue with the township is AFTER the LDR trail is finished. At that point there will be more pedestrian traffic and more urgency to improve pedestrian safety as well as enforcing the speed limit.
