LANCASTER, Feb. 24 – State funding of $150,000 for a transportation safety project is coming to the 96th Legislative District through the disbursement of Multimodal Transportation Fund dollars by the Commonwealth Financing Authority, according to state Rep. Nikki Rivera, D-Lancaster.
The multimodal project will use the state funding to help improve pedestrian safety along Harrisburg Avenue by installing signs to direct pedestrian traffic onto existing walkways and signalized cross walks at Race Avenue, College Avenue, or Williamson Drive.
“Thanks to this competitive award of $150,000 requested by Franklin and Marshall College, it will be safer to walk in Lancaster City,” Rivera said. “This money will help enhance life here in the city by making it a safer place for students, adults, and families to walk to school, to work, and to run errands. In short, this provides a better place in which to live. By making Lancaster a safer city for pedestrians, these funds will make Lancaster a healthier place to live.”
The Commonwealth Financing Authority was established in 2004 as an independent agency of the Department of Community and Economic Development to administer Pennsylvania’s economic stimulus packages.
