Lansdale Gets $308K From State For Intersection Improvements

LANSDALE, PA — The borough of Lansdale will receive a massive $308,900 grant from the state to improve six different intersections around the area, state officials announced this week.

Specifically, the upgrades will target new push buttons, LED countdown pedestrian heads, and ADA curb ramp upgrades.

“Investing in local roads and infrastructure makes our communities safer, more walkable and better connected,” State Sen. Maria Collett said. “I was proud to work alongside my colleagues in the house to support key projects strengthening travel and accessibility across the 12th District.”

The six intersections that will receive upgrades are Broad Street and Whites Road, Broad Street and Hancock Street, Broad Street and Vine Street, Broad Street and Seventh Street, Line Street and Seventh Street, and Lansdale Avenue and 7th Street.

The intersections include crossings used by schoolchildren heading to Lansdale Catholic every day.

The funding comes from the state's Automated Red Light Enforcement program, which raises funds based on speeding tickets from cameras.
