Tight Timeline For Traffic Congestion Relief Requests

Boroughs and townships in Potter County are advised of a state grant program for projects to relieve traffic congestion. Timeline to apply for funds is tight, with a deadline of Tuesday, Nov. 30. Potter County Planning Director Charlotte Dietrich has suggested two local traffic control projects that might be candidates for the program: the Rt. 6 and Rt. 872 intersection in Ladona and the vicinity of the new Nittany Minit Mart in Galeton

About $7 million is available statewide through the Automated Red Light Enforcement grant program. More information is available from Dan Farley from the Bureau of Highway Safety and Traffic Engineering at 717-783-3033. There’s also a website that includes applications, eligibility requirements and programs guidelines, accessible here.
