EAST MARLBOROUGH: Proposed stoplight on Rt. 82 at the bypass

A Chadds Ford reader wrote to ask whether I knew what was going on with the proposed stoplight at the intersection of the southbound Rt. 1 bypass exit ramp and Rt. 82, which he characterized (correctly) as "a traffic control move that's long overdue." (There is already a traffic light at the northbound exit ramp onto Rt. 82.)
To answer his question, I went right to the source: East Marlborough Chief Robert "Clarkie" Clarke. He immediately checked with the township staff for me and learned that the results of a traffic study are expected shortly, and then the township will start the process of getting PennDOT approval for the traffic light.
