The Greater Glenside Civic Association has released a “Petition in Support of Improved Intersection Safety”, referring to the intersection at Abington, Woodlawn, and Kenmore avenues in Abington Township.
“This busy spot poses risks for both pedestrians and drivers, and we believe it’s time for a change,” the association said in a post. “We’re advocating for a safer, greener intersection—with less asphalt, clearer walkways, and improved infrastructure. If you live nearby or travel through, add your name to support these much-needed improvements!”
From the petition:
Our local community appreciates the intersection at Abington, Woodlawn, and Kenmore Avenues as a critical thoroughfare, but the current layout poses a threat to both pedestrians and drivers, while devaluing the appeal of our neighborhood. Children are walking home from school but don’t know where to cross or look for cars because they come from all directions. Those who have lived here for decades have had many near crashed when people didn’t know where to direct their car when turning.
This petition aims to advocate for a neighborhood improvement project that reduces asphalt surfaces and introduces conducive walkways.
In partnership with the township and the Greater Glenside Civic Association, residential support will advance planning and a redesign that emphasizes walkability. Once signatures are gathered here, we will work with stakeholders and partners to determine best steps for creating a more appealing intersection.
Decreasing the surface area for vehicles and creating walkways will not only enhance the safety of our neighborhood but also improve aesthetics. Join the campaign by signing the petition for a safer, more beautiful intersection at Abington, Woodlawn, and Kenmore.
