York Road Pedestrian Improvements Get State Boost (ICYMI)
The improvements will target illegally parked cars along York Road and other improvements in two spots, officials said.
HATBORO, PA — Improvements along York Road in Hatboro are coming, thanks to a grant from the state government.
The borough announced that the grant, for $274,056, will be used to make pedestrian improvements along York Road and Williams Lane and York Road and Summit Avenue. The grant will fund marked crosswalks, curb bump-outs, warning signs and the installation of features to handle storm water.
The borough applied for the Commonwealth Financing Authority/Department of Community Economic Development grant earlier this year.
