1. Why is Septa building a parking garage?

This project will increase the parking capacity at Lansdale Station by 305 spaces. The project also includes improvements to the station's Main Street entrance. A pedestrian overpass will provide a
direct connection to the Madison Avenue Transit Oriented Development (TOD) project.

2. What is the schedule for construction of the parking garage project?

*Construction started in October 2015
*Pre-cast concrete deliveries are anticipated to start April 2016 and be completed August 2016
*SEPTA Parking Garage will be open for use Fall 2016
*SEPTA Lansdale Station construction complete early 2017
*Railroad Avenue improvements construction in 2017

3. How will pre-cast deliveries take place?

Deliveries will be made across Main Street between 7:00 am and 3:30 pm; there will be no evening hour deliveries. Each delivery truck will take approximately one minute to cross Main Street from Railroad Avenue, which will be used as the staging area for deliveries (10:30 am—3:30 pm daily.)

Flaggers will be present each day to stop eastbound traffic on Main Street prior to the intersection of Main and Madison Streets as well as at Broad Street and Railroad Avenue.

4. Will traffic be affected / streets closed for this project?

As with any construction project, there will be traffic adjustments made based on the need of the particular day. If there is need for road closures, detours will be posted.

5. Where will pre-cast materials remain until they are ready for use?

Railroad Avenue will be used as the staging area for pre-cast deliveries; up to seven trucks can be
parked along the street until they are guided across Main Street.

6. Where will construction updates be available?

Activity will be posted on the Borough website (www.lansdale.org) as well as on Septa’s site (www.septa.org). Advanced notice for any traffic control measures or construction related activity will be provided through social media whenever possible as well.

Any resident, business or visitor interested in receiving updates on Garage construction
projects can sign up to receive the Borough’s electronic newsletter which will include periodic
progress reports.

7. How will Septa get materials across railroad tracks?

In order to facilitate large trucks and materials, Septa will be constructing a temporary roadway that will extend into Madison Parking Lot. In order to construct this road, the concrete curb and island directly across from the roadway will be demolished and rebuilt at the end of construction. During construction, this roadway will eliminate the driving lane parallel to the tracks.

8. Where should I park throughout construction?

Throughout the entire construction project, parking for commuters is available at other Septa Stations including Ninth Street Station (141 West Ninth Street, Lansdale, PA, 19446), Pennbrook Station (1114 Church Road, Lansdale, PA, 19446) and North Wales Station (601 Beaver Street, North Wales, PA, 19454).

For patrons of Main and Madison Street businesses, limited parking will be available in Madison Lot, but ample spots are available in the Susquehanna and Vine Street Lots.

9. What additional improvements will be made to Railroad Avenue?

Use of Railroad Avenue will be limited to Septa transit buses and emergency vehicles only; however, the trail and sidewalk adjacent to Railroad Avenue will be open for use by pedestrians and bicyclists. Construction improvements for the street include: bus shelters and loading areas, reconstruction of the street, drainage improvements as well as an ADA compliant path to the train station.
