Transportation Network

The Woodhaven Road/PA 63 Expressway is the single most important east-west route in the local roadway network, as measured by average annual daily traffic (AADT) volumes. It is the only route in northeast Philadelphia connecting I-95 to U.S. Route 1 (The Roosevelt Boulevard). The expressway serves short and long-distance haulers and commuters. It also provides access to Franklin Mills and the other recently developed regional shopping centers located on Knights Road to the east of the study area.

Two major routes parallel Byberry Road: Red Lion Road to the south, and Street Road to the north. Similar to Byberry Road, these roadways are significant because they carry traffic over the CSX - Trenton Line tracks.  Street Road connects I-95 with U.S. 1, but is not a limited-access facility. West of Bustleton Avenue, County Line Road also serves east-west traffic in the area.
 
North-south routes in this area include The Roosevelt Boulevard, Bustleton Avenue and Philmont Avenue. Bustleton Avenue collects and distributes traffic from Byberry Road and the other primary east-west routes. Philmont Avenue is also an important north-south route serving the community.
 
The study area is well served by SEPTA Regional Rail and four bus routes. The Forest Hills Station on the R3 line is located on Byberry Road between Philmont Avenue and Bustleton Avenue, and the Somerton Station on the R-3 line is located at Bustleton Avenue and Philmont Avenue.
