The Lancaster County Planning Commission (LCPC), together with East Lampeter, Leacock, and Salisbury townships, encourages people who live, work, and play along the Old Philadelphia Pike (State Route 340) to take a new survey focused on the corridor's future. The survey is available at https://places2040.com/online-surveys through Friday, July 31.
This survey is part of an effort by LCPC and the three townships to implement the place-based approach to planning emphasized in "places2040," the Lancaster County comprehensive plan. One aspect of that work highlights communities, corridors, and landscapes that extend beyond municipal boundaries. The plan identifies Old Philadelphia Pike as a priority corridor due to its unique mix of rural, village, and suburban landscapes and its role as a tourism destination.
Survey respondents are asked to identify some of the top issues they see in this area, such as housing, road safety, and the future of farming, and compare strategies to address these issues. County and municipal partners will use this feedback to assist in creating a strategic plan for the corridor.
To ensure broad participation in the survey, LCPC encourages public, private, and nonprofit partners in the community to promote it on their websites and social media. When the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, a paper version of the survey will also be distributed to municipal offices and other locations throughout the corridor.
