If I'm driving through Blue Bell to my parents and I need some groceries or beer or organic bullshit, I go to Whole Foods. (more convenient then going to Giant on Chemical Rd). Those two examples are specific to me, but I also think your premise is specific to you. I think we can agree though that parking lot design in general are a lost art.

My point is they are doing a lot to draw more things and people in and it seems to be working. If they want to keep the momentum going fix that choke point, how much $ would it really be?
Swamp Pike traffic circle part of Limerick project approval
https://www.timesherald.com/news/swa...a265a74d3.html
LIMERICK — With no comment or discussion, the Limerick Township Board of Supervisors granted final site plan approval to the first phase of a 30-acre project that will eventually bring more than 450 new residences and a traffic circle to the intersection of Ridge and Swamp pikes.
With supervisors' Chairwoman Elaine DeWan absent, the plan for phase one of Limerick Town Center was approved by a 3-1 vote. Supervisor Patrick Morroney voted no.
The first phase includes Arcadia at Limerick Pointe, the 308-unit senior units — comprised of a mixture of independent living, assisted living and “memory care” units — that is at the center of the project.
But the aspect of the project that will affect the most people is that the first phase approval also includes the re-alignment of Swamp Pike, through a traffic circle, to align with Lewis Road at the intersection with West Ridge Pike.
