Has the Township addressed the previously expressed safety concerns regarding the proposed location in relationship to the Upper Dublin High School?
A. Yes; before the Facilities Study Phase was completed, and the Site Concept Phase began, traffic studies and a risk assessment were conducted by independent professionals in response to the expressed concerns. The summary states, in part, that the “added risk is so statistically small, that the fire safety benefits (to the students and school buildings due to the fire station’s closer proximity to the schools), would more than likely outweigh the added risks due to fire related vehicle accidents.” This report is posted on the documents web page.
