About this project
Jarrettown Elementary School is being rebuilt with a new two-story building of approximately 55,000 square feet at 1520 Limekiln Pike in Upper Dublin. The existing school will be demolished except for the circular library, which may be converted to an outdoor accessory structure. Improvements include a new bus loop, reconfigured parking, enhanced stormwater management, and relocated athletic fields.
County planning commission: Supports, with comments
Issues raised: public trail access and safety during school operating hours, school bus stacking space to prevent queue overflow onto Limekiln Pike, parent drop-off/pick-up capacity during peak periods, separation of bus, parent, and staff vehicle circulation
