STATE COLLEGE, Feb. 24 – New grant funding of $390,375 is coming to Patton Township for road and sidewalk rehabilitation projects, state Rep. Scott Conklin announced today.

Conklin, D-Centre, said the grants – approved by the Commonwealth Financing Authority under the Multimodal Transportation Fund – include $283,500 for pedestrian safety and pavement improvements on Valley Vista Drive and $106,875 for roadway improvements on North Oak Lane.

“The funding is great news for Patton Township, which has identified needed pedestrian and roadway improvements to Valley Vista Drive and North Oak Lane,” Conklin said. “Funding for the Valley Vista Drive project will support milling work, removal and replacement of deteriorating pavement and the addition of curb and sidewalk improvements to ensure accessibility at crossings.

“Funding for the North Oak Lane project will support work to repair and rehabilitate aging roadway and stormwater infrastructure in Park Forest Village. Both projects will bring safer, smoother travel for residents.”

Conklin said the work to North Oak Lane is a continuation of prior road rehabilitation work, with the new work focusing on the area between Douglas Drive and Highland Drive.
