The Route 30 study includes streetscape design ideas — pollinator gardens, a decorative plaza at Berwin Square, expanded sidewalks where feasible, and potential raised or midblock crossings — with consultants flagging maintenance and utility costs and the need to coordinate with SEPTA/Amtrak and PennDOT/NDOT.

Consultants presented a draft Route 30 Complete Streets plan that would add about 10 on‑street parking spaces (from 13 to 23) along Lancaster Avenue, evaluated parking procurement options with SEPTA/Amtrak constraints, and scheduled a follow‑up with cost estimates and an implementation plan for supervisors in November.

Easttown Planning Commission reviewed concept plans to reconfigure Route 30, narrow travel lanes to add sidewalks through the village and realign the Bridge Avenue/Lancaster intersection; staff recommended staged implementation beginning with design feasibility and follow‑up with PennDOT.

Financial advisers presented a parameters ordinance to fund a new police/admin building and sewer projects; Standard & Poor's rated the township AA+, staff aims to market bonds Aug. 3. Police officers and residents testified to inadequate, potentially unsafe conditions in the existing police station and urged the project.

Consultant Chris Williams presented traffic, pedestrian and crash data for Old Lancaster Road and Lakeside Avenue and outlined multiple one-way and pedestrian-oriented alternatives; commissioners asked the consultant to carry forward a short list of options focused on enabling a pedestrian route under the rail line and minimizing business-access impacts.
