Traffic Calming

A Notice Regarding Traffic Calming Improvements at Tenby Chase Drive and Grande Boulevard

In an effort to improve safety for motorists and pedestrians, we will begin implementing traffic calming measures on Tenby Chase Drive and Grande Boulevard, beginning October 21st, and are currently expected to reach completion by the Winter.

Grande Boulevard Improvements

Grande Boulevard currently has a wide roadway and no lane striping, which invites speeding motorists.

The improvements will include the following:

  • Lane striping which will define a narrower driving lane and differentiate the driving lanefrom the parking zones
  • Addition of sidewalks to connect residential zones with the sports complex, providing safer areas of passage.
  • Installation of chicanes, a popular traffic calming technique. Their purpose is to:
    • reduce the width of the travel lane which
      slows traffic;
    • prohibit parking at the corner of cross streets which creates better sight lines for motorists; and
    • provide safer crosswalks by reducing the length ofthe cross walk and highlighting pedestrian crossing zones for motorists These chicanes are only used in a limited section of the road. Learn more about chicanes here.
  • Solar powered speed radar sign to alert drivers of their speed

Tenby Chase Improvements
Tenby Chase Drive (between Don Deutsch and Vermes fields) is dangerous to drivers and pedestrians, particularly during sporting events and practices.

Traffic Calming measures will include the following:

  • Additional lane striping to delineate the travel lane and shoulder for parking
  • Solar-powered speed radar sign to alert drivers of their speed.
  • Installation of chicanes at crosswalks, the benefits of which are mentioned above.

Concept Plans

Recycle Coach

Delran residents can now enjoy an even easier approach to accessing Waste and Recycling Information. We are thrilled to have Recycle Coach fully integrated with the most up to date Public Works information available right on our website at https://www.delrantownship.org/recycle-coach/

The web-app contains information about our residential garbage and recycling services, leaf and branch pickup, paper shredding events and more that helps you utilize these services more effectively. You can even expect communication directly from us should there be any changes to the program, including schedule updates, through the Recycle Coach app, which is a free  download available directly on your Apple or Android device!

The “What Goes Where?” search engine makes sorting waste and understanding collection requirements much easier. Residents can now search for specific items like “couch” or “TV” and find out exactly what to do with those unwanted items.

The Recycle Coach app is not only a communication platform, but an educational one as well. Articles on a wide variety of topics like garbage and recycling are available on the Recycle Coach website’s Blog, Recyclepedia, and Resources sections.

We hope you enjoy using Recycle Coach as we move forward in making Delran township Public Works services simple, engaging, and easier to navigate.
