Lower Moreland Gets $49K For Intersection Improvements

LOWER MORELAND, PA — Lower Moreland has received a grant to replace and modernize traffic signals in the township.

The $49,463 in funding will help improve two intersections: Huntingdon Pike and Philmont Avenue, and Jenkintown Road and Meetinghouse Road. A left turn lane on Philmont will also be altered.
The funding is part of more than $968,000 disbursed to 17 projects around Montgomery County as part of PennDOT's Green Light Go program.

“These grants provide additional support to our municipalities to help them improve their traffic and pedestrian infrastructure," Val Arkoosh, Chair of the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners said in a statement. "The awards will also create savings which will support many other worthwhile municipal projects. Even though they may not always be visible to the motoring public, these projects are important to maintaining the smooth flow of people and goods throughout the county."

The grants come from revenue sourced from Montgomery County's $5 vehicle registration fee.
