Washington Lane, stretching from Frog Hollow to Fairacres, witnesses a large volume of high-speed traffic that dearly needs traffic calming. 

We commend Abington for installing sidewalks affordably along this stretch as part of the Abington Jenkintown Connections Plan (thank you!). Now, the time has come to make this corridor truly walkable and safe for our community to enjoy.

To Abington Township- We request urgent implementation of traffic calming measures including but not limited to- stop signs with blinking lights, raised crosswalks, speed cushions, pinch points and most of all a reduction of speed limit to mirror the Borough's 25mph.

Abington has the chance to really walk the walk in becoming one of the most livable and connected communities instead of valuing auto throughput over our residents' wellbeing. 

What else can you do besides signing? 

• Reach out to your Abington commissioner and let them know you'd like traffic calming on Washington Ln - Stuart Winegrad or Tom Hecker (Refer to Ward Map to find) 
• More info on street design methods via NACTO, see what other towns are doing to make their roads safer.
