North Wales  February 1, 2019 − Senator Collett announced today that $1,590,000 in multimodal project grants would be going to roadway and infrastructure improvements in the 12th District. 

The grants come from PennDOT’s Multimodal Fund and will be used to repave and improve roadways throughout the district. Projects will include areas most in need of repair, areas that need to be upgraded to ADA compliance, and toward efforts to make streets more accessible and safer for bicycle traffic.

“Investments in the infrastructure of our communities are investments in our future,” said Collett. “I am so pleased that these grants will go towards making sure that our roads and walkways are safer and more accessible.”

  • Davisville & Byberry Intersection Improvements (Upper Moreland, Montgomery County) – $390,000

Throughout Pennsylvania, $44.5 million was given to a variety of local multimodal projects.
