HARRISBURG – Sen. Camera Bartolotta (R-46) announced today that Peters Township has been awarded nearly $477,000 through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s (PennDOT) Green Light-Go Program to improve safety and traffic flow along Washington Road (State Route 19), the township’s primary transportation corridor.
The funding will be used to completely replace the traffic signals at the intersection of Crosswinds Drive and State Route 19. Township officials have identified the intersection as the most outdated traffic signals along the corridor and the ones most in need of replacement.
“I was glad to support Peters Township’s application for this funding,” Bartolotta said. “Washington Road is the township’s main road and is used by thousands of residents, commuters and visitors every day. Replacing the old traffic signals will make the area safer, improve how traffic moves and help this important intersection keep meeting the needs of this growing community.”
PennDOT’s Green Light-Go Program provides reimbursement funding to municipalities for projects that improve the efficiency and operation of existing traffic signals. Eligible improvements include upgrades to modern signal technology, traffic signal retiming and enhanced monitoring systems that allow signals to respond to real-time traffic conditions.
