Chadds Ford Township is about to get $45,000 from the state to upgrade the traffic signal at Route 1 and Ring Road. According to Gene Blaum, of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, the money for the project comes from the multi-million dollar Automated Red Light Enforcement funding.
Blaum said fines from infractions at 21 intersections in Philadelphia supply the grant funding. Municipalities submitted more than 260 applications, 17 of which will be distributed to municipalities in PennDOT’s Region 6, including Chadds Ford Township.
An eight-member committee selected the projects based on criteria such as project benefits and effectiveness, cost, local and regional impact, and cost sharing, according to PennDOT.
