FALLS TOWNSHIP, PA — On Monday, Dec. 27, State Senator Steve Santarsiero (D-10) and Representative John Galloway (D-140) announced that Falls Township will receive $756,881 from PennDOT for traffic and safety improvements.

The funds will be used for seven different upgrades at intersections around the area, which include:

• Trenton Road and Andover Road
• S. Olds Boulevard and Queen Anne Drive
• N. Olds Boulevard and Trenton Road
• Lincoln Circle and Lincoln Highway
• W. Trenton Avenue and Woolston Drive
• W. Trenton Avenue and Alden Avenue
• W. Trenton Avenue and Big Oak Road

Pedestrian signals will be added to each intersection as well as new ADA curb ramps.

“These traffic safety improvements will help keep drivers and pedestrians safe at busy intersections across Falls Township,” Santarsiero said. “These upgrades will improve pedestrian access to shopping, schools and community attractions, while providing emergency response vehicles safer access to respond to emergencies.”

Preemptive devices will be installed on all traffic signals, which will make it easier for emergency vehicles to navigate through traffic.

“These funds will help Falls Township make important upgrades at seven local intersections, improving traffic signals for drivers and helping pedestrians get around safely,” Galloway said. “Projects like these keep our community safe and improve access to businesses.”
