Whitpain Gets $30K To Improve 6 Intersections

WHITPAIN, PA — Whitpain has received a grant to replace and modernize traffic signals in the township.

The $30,376.50 in funding will be used on six intersections along Skippack Pike, between Cathcart Road and Narcissa Road, officials said.

The funding is part of more than $968,000 disbursed to 17 projects around Montgomery County as part of PennDOT's Green Light Go program.

“These grants provide additional support to our municipalities to help them improve their traffic and pedestrian infrastructure," Val Arkoosh, Chair of the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners said in a statement. "The awards will also create savings which will support many other worthwhile municipal projects. Even though they may not always be visible to the motoring public, these projects are important to maintaining the smooth flow of people and goods throughout the county."

The improvements include new traffic signal equipment, pushbuttons, and ADA ramps.

The grants come from revenue sourced from Montgomery County's $5 vehicle registration fee.
