Long Range Transportation Plan Kickoff

On Thursday December 14, the transportation division held the first meeting of the Long Range Transportation Plan, or LRTP, committee. The LRTP will guide transportation investments and strategies through 2045. The committee is made up of a wide variety of community organizations including rabbittransit, the York County Economic Alliance, Wellspan, the Center for Traffic Safety, the Healthy York County Coalition, and representatives from municipalities. At their first meeting, the committee discussed the over-arching goals of the plan, some of the major changes in York County in the next 25 years, and the game plan for creating the LRTP. Be on the lookout for more information about the LRTP in January.


 
York County Stormwater BMP Tours

The York County Conservation District received a grant to educate the residents of York County about stormwater.  They collaborated with the York County Planning Commission (YCPC) and came up with two stormwater tours.  Stormwater management is hot topic. When many think of stormwater management, the typical large retention pond comes to mind.  But there are so many other options available!  The first tour was for the elected and appointed officials and staff of our municipalities.  This was a bus tour and included 7 different sites with speakers at each location.  The second tour, intended for the general public, can either be a virtual tour or a self-guided tour of the many different types of Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs).  This self-guided tour is an online story map that the IS division of the YCPC created and includes pictures, descriptions, and directions to various BMP sites in York County.  Click here to view the story map.  Many of these projects have been completed by municipalities who are participating in a regional group effort to comply with MS4 requirements and to clean up the waters of York County.  As more projects are completed, they will be added to the story map.
 
To learn more about the projects, or the regional effort, contact Lindsay Gerner at the YCPC.  To learn more about the use of the self-guided story map, contact Jacob Trimmer, also at the YCPC.

Financial and other support for this project was provided by the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts, Inc. through a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental protection under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act, administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
