Collingswood Gets State Funds To Become 'More Walkable'

COLLINGSWOOD, NJ — The Borough of Collingswood was one of 19 municipalities throughout New Jersey that recently received grant funding through the state's Safe Streets to Transit program, a borough official said in a press release.

The grant is worth $370,000 and will improve dozens of curb cuts and intersections around the borough, the press release said. Many of the curbs cubs and intersections that are set to be repaired were from requests that came in from borough residents, according to Collingswood Mayor James Maley.

"This kind of partnership with the state allows us to identify needs and make improvements," Maley said in the release. "In this case, these curb installations and repairs will create better walkability to transit and through town."

A timetable for starting and completing the project was not given.
