Streets for All

We believe everyone should have safe and reliable transportation choices. A community’s infrastructure should support residents of all ages and abilities to make trips by walking or cycling — because it is convenient, affordable, and promotes a healthy lifestyle.
 
When communities investment in sidewalks, bike lanes, trails, crosswalks, public transit, and other infrastructure it promotes transportation equity, improves public health, and reduces our carbon footprint.
 
The Borough of Phoenixville is partnering with GVF, who has 32 years of nonprofit mobility planning expertise, on the Streets for All project.
 
The project’s goal is to improve the quality of life for residents and employees within the Borough by creating a plan that looks at current transportation conditions and identifies improvements.
 
Coming soon! We want to know your thoughts.
 
In January we will be sending out a survey to find out what your thoughts are about current transportation conditions and what you would like to see improved when it comes to alternative transportation choices.
