What is the condition of associated roads such as Summit Avenue, Fort Washington Avenue and Susquehanna Road?
A. Summit Avenue is a narrow street consisting of densely populated residences with on-street parking and children playing nearby. Fort Washington Avenue is a state highway and main thoroughfare for the township with curbs on both sides and sidewalks on the side by the schools. Although the area proposed for a new fire house involves a school zone with the driveway outside that school zone, the line of sight is clear along the sides of this road and essentially unobstructed. An independent traffic study has been conducted that determined there is no direct safety issue by having a firehouse located at the Bonsell property. That study is posted on the documents web page. Susquehanna Road is also a state highway and main thoroughfare for the township. It provides ample width for myriad vehicles and, for the most part, offers a sufficient berm.
