Transportation

Major renovations are complete on First Avenue in Moore Park that increase vehicular safety from North Gulph Road to Allendale Road. The Road Diet configuration incorporates a travel lane in each direction with safe, center turn lanes and bike lanes on each side. A pedestrian crossing was also built to create a more pedestrian friendly roadway.

Employees, residents and visitors to Moore Park can now enjoy the beauty and vibrancy of the First Avenue Linear Park, a 1.25-mile multimodal trail connecting 14 properties that runs along First Avenue between North Gulph Road to Allendale Road. The First Avenue Linear Park is open to the public and features amenities like outdoor seating areas interspersed between a rain garden, planting beds, trees and stone seating walls. The accessible asphalt path, concrete sidewalks and boardwalk include solar-powered light fixtures and convenient trash receptacles that create a clean and safe year-round environment for pedestrians. Improvements also include nine new solar-powered bus shelters that provide passengers with a well-lit refuge from the elements while waiting for the next bus.

King of Prussia District partnered with Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County, PennDOT, the Commonwealth Finance Authority, Pennsylvania’s Office of Budget and 14 commercial property owners in Moore Park, who generously contributed public bike way easements, to create this multimodal trail. King of Prussia District is proud to manage this public amenity, and hosts events and activations along the Linear Park throughout the year.

King of Prussia District is working with the Turnpike Commission, Montgomery County, Upper Merion Township and several stakeholders to advance a critical transportation improvement that will improve access into Moore Park and provide direct access between Route 76 and the Turnpike. Long-term plans call for a new interchange at Henderson Road and Route 276, as well as significant improvements at the existing Valley Forge interchange.
