Chandler Mill Trail
Materials & amenities
The choices of materials for the Chandler Mill Trail are designed to embrace the natural esthetic of southern Chester County while simultaneously being durable in a floodplain. Ideally, materials will be locally sourced or come from raw materials on site.
Overlook designs
Two overlooks can offer opportunities to rest, play and enjoy nature’s beauty along the Chandler Mill Trail. These overlooks have been designed with feedback from Township residents and local landowners.
Traffic calming measures
As part of the project two short sections of Chandler Mill Road will become one lane, but with bidirectional traffic (much like a one-lane bridge). This traffic pattern will accomplish two priorities highlighted by local residents in public meetings: (i) help reduce the speed of traffic and (ii) minimize disturbance to the creek.
Kennett Township set up a temporary pilot study in mid-November 2021 that allowed local residents to experience this traffic pattern and provide feedback.
