Since it's launch in late 2024 the Lawrenceville Mobility Enhancement District (MED) has been generating funds that will have already begun to shape the streets of Lawrenceville. With the community's guidance it is time to look further ahead and help to guide investment for years to come.

City Councilwoman Deb Gross, DOMI, and Lawrenceville Corporation and Lawrenceville United are excited to announce a new long-range Lawrenceville Mobility Enhancement District Plan. This plan will identify a suite of projects to be implemented over the next 3-5 years.

The MED was designed and legislated to ensure that revenue generated in Lawrenceville stays in Lawrenceville. As the fund continues to grow, having a long-range plan will allow DOMI and the community to:

• Predictability and Efficiency: Establish a suite of infrastructure improvement projects that were generated by the community and vetted by DOMI will allow for predictable and efficient budgeting and annual project selection each year.
• Plan for Larger Projects: Identify large scale projects that will deliver more significant safety enhancements and plan for pursuing grant funding and state cooperation. Larger scale project are likely to require additional money and documenting them in the plan will help DOMI to pursue grant funding to design and implement these significant projects.
• Maximize Impact: Documenting the community's vision and priorities in a long-range plan will help to align future investment with community desire.

The goal of this project is to generate a suite of projects that can be implemented over the next three to five years. These projects will range from small, quick-build projects that could be designed and built entirely with MED funds and larger, long-term projects that would require using some MED funds as match funds for a grant, like Butler St corridor improvements in coordination with PennDOT.

Quick-build Project Types:

• ADA Curb Ramps
• Crosswalk Improvements
• Pedestrian Islands
• Neighborway Improvements
• Curb Extensions
• Speed Tables
• Parking Lane Markings

Long-Range Project Types:

• Corridor Safety Improvements
• Streetscape Improvements
• Lighting Improvements
• Large-Scale Intersection Improvements

Throughout 2026 DOMI Planning will work with City Councilwoman Deb Gross, , Lawrenceville United, Lawrenceville Corporation, and other community partners to craft a plan that helps build a safter and more accessible Lawrenceville for residents and visitors.

The Lawrenceville Mobility Enhancement District (MED) is a mechanism to address curbside management issues and parking demand, while also funding mobility improvements in the neighborhood. This tool allows for additional funds generated by dynamic hours and dynamic pricing of paid parking areas to be used for a variety of mobility improvements, including bus shelters, parking enforcement, street trees, and more.

Legislation for the program was passed in late 2023 after months of community engagement and planning. The first phase of implementation began in November 2024 with the start of evening hours of enforcement for existing paid parking areas on Butler Street.

In existing paid parking areas (Butler Street from 34th to 46th Streets), hours of enforcement have been extended to include weekdays 6 p.m. to 12 a.m. and weekends from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. All meter revenue collected during these additional enforcement hours is directed into the MED Trust Fund.

In existing paid parking areas (Butler Street from 34th to 46th Streets), paid parking are $2.50 during extended dynamic hours (weekdays from 6 p.m. to 12 a.m. and weekends from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m.).
