ADA Curb Ramps To Be Installed At 5 Phoenixville Intersections

PHOENIXVILLE, PA — ADA-compliant curb ramps will be installed in Phoenixville beginning early next year, State Sen. Andy Dinniman's office announced Tuesday.

Crews from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation will install the ramps at five key intersections around the area.

“These are simple improvements that can make a tremendous difference in the daily lives of our residents and neighbors who are living with disabilities,” Dinniman, who serves on the Senate Transportation Committee, said in a statement announcing the ramps. “A vital part of upgrading our transportation infrastructure is ensuring that it is readily accessible to all and that includes our sidewalks, public transit systems, and train stations.”

The project is expected to be completed by the summer of 2019. It's part of a larger statewide initiative to add nearly 140 ADA ramps to 50 intersections across Chester and Delaware counties.

ADA ramps will be installed at the following intersections:

• Route 113 (Bridge Street) and Buchanan Street; Walnut Street; and Hall Street in Phoenixville.
• Route 113 (Franklin Avenue) and West High Street; Saint Marys Street; Rhoades Street; and Route 113 (Emmett Street) in Phoneixville.
• Route 113 (Emmett Street) and Queen Street; Ann Street; Green Street; Marshall Street; Airy Street; South Street; North Street; and Route 113 (Dayton Street) in Phoenixville.
• Route 113 (Dayton Street) and Grant Street; and Oak Street/Freemont Street in Phoenixville.
• Route 113 (Black Rock Road) and Bateman Drive; Riverwalk Drive; and Winding River Drive in Phoenixville.
