Northampton Gets $208K For Traffic Signal Improvements

Northampton Township has received more than $200,000 to modernize three traffic signals along Jacksonville Road and Almshouse Road, the state announced this week. The $208,850 in funds will allow for installation of video detection, radar dilemma zone detection, ADA-compliant push buttons, and battery back-up, the state said.

The project is one of four in Bucks County and one of 70 across Pennsylvania that was approved Thursday by the state.

“This is the fourth round of funding disbursed to support increased safety and mobility across more Pennsylvania towns,” Gov. Wolf said in a statement.

Funded through the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation's "Green Light-Go" program, grants are provided as reimbursement to municipalities for updates to improve the efficiency and operation of existing traffic signals.

Grant funding through the Green Light – Go Program may be utilized for a range of operational improvements including LED technology, traffic signal retiming, and related issues.
