Traffic
I receive more calls and email about traffic than any other subject. It is a problem. It is a difficult problem. Where appropriate, I work with residents and the Police Department to address the issues. If you have a concern about traffic in your neighborhood, please feel free to contact me. Please understand, however, that not every situation has an easy answer.

Eagle, Darby & Lawrence Roads
As a resident who lives on Marilyn Drive (which is adjacent to Lawrence Road) and whose offices are located on Eagle Road (across from Rita's Water Ice), I am extremely concerned with the traffic that plagues the Township, especially Darby, Eagle and Lawrence Roads (which literally circle the 4th Ward). The intersections of Lawrence & Eagle Roads, and Eagle & Darby Roads are particularly jammed and cry out for help.
I am working with Township, and state and local officials to address these traffic problems -- which could worsen with eventual development of the now vacant Bubble Gum Factory on Eagle Road. I welcome everyone's input. Please call or email me with ideas, suggestions, etc.
The "Signs"
Another common request I receive is for signs that say "Please Slow Down - Haverford Township Police Department." These signs were prepared by the Township and are no longer available.
