PENNDOT Adding Teeth to Bicycle Pedestrian Checklist

PENNDOT Adding Teeth to Bicycle Pedestrian Checklist

PENNDOT is working on a Strike Off Letter (PENNDOT speak for an official directive) that will be compel the Department to use the checklist for all projects except for routine maintenance such as repaving.

Ironically District 6-0 has planning money from DVRPC to design bike lanes on roads as part of the repaving process. However this process has been stymied by a lack of right of way and the disturbing bikeway occupancy permit which requires municipalities to remove snow.
