Should 413 get a side walk?

Gas prices are going bonkers, with no end in site. Along 413 in Newtown Township, Wrightstown, Pineville, and Buckingham, developments are popping up faster than you can say “CONSERVE SOME OF THAT LAND!!!”. Traffic is piling up on this cement, two lane artery, and people only wish a side walk, such as the one that runs along Eagle Rd was placed along the side.

So how much would this project cost? I don’t know! I’m just a dreamer. Perhaps the different townships could pass some sort of legislation recommending or uhh forcing Developers of such neighborhoods to work on a side walk project.

Perhaps the project could be paid for by issuing more traffic tickets, with a higher fine to pay. Perhaps set up some more cameras at different traffic lights to nab red light runners. Or even crazier, set up a system that would put in place speed snapping cameras that would take the picture of the license plate of the driver driving past the camera, and if registering above the speed limit issue a ticket. Place these types of cameras through out the township, you are bound to ring in some cash-cash-money-money-bling-bling.

Just a few ideas on how to raise money for such a project. I for one probably wont take the lead on this project as I did with the Dog Park concept, mainly because I am still busy with such. However, if you are a resident who agrees with this project, why not leave a comment on my blog so we can talk about it some. Perhaps make yourself known to the Board of Supervisors, and take lead of this project yourself. I would be more then happy to help, and support such a movement.

Ah…a town with actual side walks where you can walk and ride your bike to town, and well save on gas and burn calories! Now thats a dream!
