This project incorporated a number of standard traffic calming elements to slow traffic in front of Central Bucks West High School:
- Landscaped curb bump-outs provide protected parking spaces and add a beautification element to the area.
- A twenty-six foot wide raised brick walkway was added to aid pedestrian traffic at the school entrance and also serves to slow traffic.
- Brick accents were added at various locations in the existing sidewalk.
- A lane shift was incorporated with curb bump-outs as a traffic calming method.
At the intersection of West Court and Memorial Streets a ‘gateway into the Borough’ was constructed which includes a low stone wall, brick and cobblestone pavers, historic street lighting, welcome signage and landscaping.
