Regional Transportation Plan Open for Public Review

The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission has opened public comment on its draft Update: Connections 2050, the region’s long-term transportation and infrastructure plan. The proposal maps out investments through 2050 and includes a major milestone: full funding for the Circuit Trails network. It also emphasizes safety, environmental sustainability, and community input. Two public meetings—in Mullica Hill and Philadelphia—will be held in early August. Comments can be submitted online or by mail until August 20. The final plan will be considered for adoption in September.

Funding comes from state and federal sources and will include new amenities such as a water feature.
