LANCASTER, Jan. 23 –The Commonwealth Financing Authority has approved $600,000 in Multimodal Transportation Funding to Garman Builders to address existing queuing and safety issues present along PA Route 741 (Millersville Pike) and PA Route 999 (Millersville Road), state Rep. Ismail Smith-Wade-El, D-Lancaster, announced today.

The funding will be used for the following improvements to Routes 741 and 999 in Millersville:

  • Construction of a roundabout along PA Route 741(Millersville Road).
  • Traffic signal upgrades, including a northbound left turn and signal timing.
  • Construction of an 8-foot-wide multi-purpose trail along PA Route 741 and PA Route 999.
  • Creation of a bus stop, including a shelter, bench and streetlight.
  • Repaving, striping and signage.

“This strategic state investment helps us make Routes 741 and 999 in Millersville safer for our residents—whether they are traveling by car, bicycle or on foot—and will help offset some of the cost for local taxpayers. I am grateful to the CFA and the Shapiro administration for following our guidance about the project’s importance for our area,” Smith-Wade-El said.

The MTF, administered by the CFA, provides grants between $100,000 and $3 million to encourage economic development and ensure that a safe and reliable system of transportation is available to the residents of the commonwealth. Funds may be used for the development, rehabilitation and enhancement of transportation assets to existing communities, streetscape, lighting, sidewalk enhancement, pedestrian safety, connectivity of transportation assets and transit-oriented development.
