West Chester, PA (Marzo 16, 2023) – Three transportation projects in the Borough of Oxford, East Fallowfield Township, and Easttown Township will receive $500,000 in total state funding, state Senator Carolyn Comitta announced today.
“Safe roadways and accessible pedestrian crossings and sidewalks contribute to the quality of life in our towns and neighborhoods,” Comitta said. “These investments will help calm traffic, promote safety on our roadways, and ensure that our communities are walkable for residents and families.”
Los proyectos, aprobados hoy por la Autoridad de Financiación de la Commonwealth, se financian a través del Fondo de Transporte Multimodal. Son los siguientes
- $150,000 for the Borough of Oxford for roadway and sidewalk improvements along Mt. Vernon Street and three other streets in the borough.

Eligible projects include the development, rehabilitation and enhancement of transportation assets to existing communities, streetscape, lighting, sidewalk enhancement, pedestrian safety, connectivity of transportation assets and transit-oriented development.
