HARRISBURG, Dec. 23 – State Representative Perry Warren and state Senator Steve Santarsiero today announced that Upper Makefield Township has been awarded a $250,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s Multimodal Transportation Fund to support a series of pedestrian and roadway improvements along Route 532.
The funding will be used to construct new sidewalks, install ADA-compliant ramps, add curb bump-outs at two intersections, implement decorative crosswalks, upgrade pedestrian signals, perform milling and overlay, and make other enhancements along the corridor. These improvements aim to increase pedestrian safety, accessibility, and overall community connectivity.
“This investment will make a real difference for the families, seniors, and visitors who use Route 532 in Washington Crossing,” Santarsiero said. “By improving sidewalks, crossings, and roadway conditions, we’re making Upper Makefield a safer, more pedestrian-friendly, and accessible area. I’m proud to support this funding and to work with Representative Warren and local leaders to deliver infrastructure improvements that strengthen our communities.”
“The residents of Upper Makefield deserve safe, accessible streets that encourage walking and make our neighborhoods more welcoming,” Warren said. “This investment from the Multimodal Transportation Fund will enhance pedestrian safety, improve traffic flow, and strengthen the community’s infrastructure for years to come.”
The Multimodal Transportation Fund provides dedicated funding for projects that improve transportation across multiple modes, including walking, biking, transit, and freight. Through its statewide competitive funding program, the MTF supports municipalities, councils of governments, businesses, public transportation agencies, and other organizations in making transportation safer, more accessible, and more reliable for all Pennsylvanians.
