Scott: More than $650,000 secured to improve intersection safety

NORRISTOWN, Feb. 10 – State Rep. Greg Scott, D-Montgomery, today announced that the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation awarded more than $650,000 to improve intersection safety at two areas in the 54th Legislative District.

Red-light improvement grants in the district are:

  • $229,829 to install high-visibility crosswalks, modernized ADA facilities and rectangular rapid flashing beacons at the intersection of Fourth Avenue and Seventh Avenue in Conshohocken Borough.
  • $437,686 for traffic signal modernization at the intersection of Marshall and Astor streets in Norristown Borough.

“The ARLE program improves traffic flow and makes our streets safer and more walkable, which ultimately improves the community by promoting accessibility and connection,” Scott said. “I’m proud to see two of our intersections selected for this improvement and for PennDOT’s commitment to our neighborhoods.”

Projects are selected through the Automated Red-Light Enforcement Program, which identifies intersections in the commonwealth where data show red-light running is an issue. An eight-member committee considered 113 project applications and chose the recipients based on safety benefit, effectiveness, cost and local and regional impact.
