Tredyffrin Township’s restricted parking map

The World Meeting of Families and Pope Francis’ visit to Philadelphia are just one week away. Here’s what residents of Tredyffrin Township need to know about next weekend:

- Last week the Township declared a State of Emergency for the weekend of the Pope’s visit, due to traffic and train congestion in the area.

- According to an update from the Township Thursday, parking will be restricted on Lancaster Ave. as well as other local roads (see map here). North Valley Road will be closed between Paoli Plaza and Central Avenue.

- Car access to the Paoli train station will be limited to drop off and pick up only.

- Main Line Taxi is available to arrange rides to and from SEPTA train stations and parking lots.

Most of all, the Township wishes to encourage safety.

“Of paramount importance is the safety and well-being of our residents, businesses, and visitors. The Township and SEPTA will continue to communicate through available resources to ensure that everyone is made aware of any situations that may affect you,” Police Superintendent Anthony Giamo said in a statement.
