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

Mayor’s Update 6.23.21

On Monday, June 21st, Councilman Lynn Jeney, Councilwoman Parejo, and I were honored to be invited to the Delran Police Department’s 2021 Award Ceremony. It was a great opportunity to show our support for the police and to see them honor one another for their outstanding accomplishments over the last year. In my continued effort to support the Delran Police Department’s inclusive, equitable and positive engagement with our community, I also presented an award for the first time.

After an already distinguished career in public service; from the Delran Emergency Squad to the Delran Fire Department, to law enforcement; Patrolman Michael Lynch contributes in a profound way to the positive impact that the Delran Police Department has on our entire Delran family.  Patrolman Lynch has spent his entire career dedicating himself to this community. 

When he transferred from the Burlington County Sheriff’s Department to our police department in April of 2020, Patrolman Lynch brought an aspirational level of community outreach experience and training with him to serve our residents. 

It was my honor to present him with the first-ever Mayor’s Award – “For consistently demonstrating dedication and service to the community, and for improving outreach and engagement between the Police and the people of Delran.”

I would like to invite Delran residents to join us in congratulating the following officers who received awards:

Patrolman Michael Lynch

  • Exceptional Service Award
  • Mayor’s Award

Detective Robert Fisher

  • Exceptional Service Award 
  • Delran Police Department’s 2021 Officer of the Year 

Patrolman Steve Wallis

  • Life Saving Award
  • Exceptional Service Award

We are so #DelranProud of all of them.
