Dear neighbors,
I've forwarded the note below from Senator Greenleaf for your information. The new parkway opens today! Here is what I found about the opening ceremony:
A grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at 2 p.m., on the road, just north of County Line Road in Warrington.
Once the ceremonial activities end and all the associated event traffic is off the road, cars and trucks will be free to drive on the road that some have been waiting for for decades.
Enjoy a ride in your car or your bike and see our tax dollars at work! (:

November 30, 2012 Dear Friends, Please see the following message from PennDOT regarding the opening of the Route 202 Parkway on Monday. PennDOT Advises Route 202 Parkway Users to Remain Alert With the new Route 202 Parkway opening to traffic Monday afternoon, Dec. 3, PennDOT advises area motorists, cyclists and pedestrians to remain alert for changes in local traffic patterns and the presence of other users of the new, 8.4 mile connection between Montgomeryville and Doylestown. Motorists will find new traffic signals operating at 10 intersections -- most with dedicated left and right turn lanes -- where crossing roads provide access to the Parkway. Drivers are advised to anticipate slowing traffic and possible sudden stops as Parkway users become familiar with entering and exiting the new road and the adjoining shared-use trail head parking areas. Parkway travelers also are advised to drive with care, especially during initial trips on the new facility, which has four travel lanes between Route 63 (Welsh Road) and Route 463 (Horsham Road) and two lanes from just north of Route 463 (Horsham Road) to Route 611. Operators of motor vehicles are urged to remain alert for wildlife -- especially deer -- as well as bicyclists on the Parkway's dedicated bicycle lanes and pedestrians using the shared-use path that parallels the entire Parkway between Route 63 (Welsh Road) in Montgomery County and New Britain Road in Bucks County. Bicyclists and pedestrians also are advised to remain mindful of vehicular traffic and to obey traffic signals at intersections at all times when using, accessing or crossing the Parkway. PennDOT reminds motorists that the Parkway speed limit is 40 mph.
