Township Awarded $1.2M for Pennsylvania Avenue Corridor
Earlier this month, Springfield Township was notified that it was awarded funds from the Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside Program in partnership with Upper Dublin Township. The award, totaling $1,228,212, was awarded for improvements along Pennsylvania Avenue including a traffic signal upgrade with ADA ramps at Bridge Street, installation of missing trail/sidewalk and installation of two mid-block crossings with ADA ramps to improve pedestrian and bike connectivity. The project will also include a reconfiguration of travel lanes to improve safety. The Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside Program funds are awarded annually by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, through funding from the federal government.
The intention of this project is to improve pedestrian, bicycle and motorized vehicle circulation and general connectivity between the two Townships along Pennsylvania Avenue. Construction timelines for the project are still to be determined, and will occur alongside PennDOT approval.
