Traffic Commission Meeting - July 14, 2026

The City of Lancaster, PA Traffic Commission held a meeting on July 14, 2026, focusing on various traffic and parking-related issues. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of on-street metered parking on East Marion Street, adding six metered spaces to address parking shortages and improve safety, and the review and approval of land development plans for a multi-family housing project at 210 College Avenue, which included off-street parking access considerations. The commission also approved a motion to designate Lemon Street and Buchanan Avenue as snow emergency routes to facilitate snow removal and maintain bike lane accessibility. Several traffic safety improvements were discussed, including the installation of all-way stop signs at a high pedestrian volume intersection and consideration of traffic calming measures such as speed humps, though some requests were tabled pending further study. The commission voted on motions related to these items, including approvals, denials, and tabling of requests, with attention to balancing safety, parking availability, and urban development needs. Public comments and staff reports informed decisions, and ongoing projects like the Safe Streets initiative and two-way restoration were noted as part of broader traffic safety efforts.
