Pedestrian safety and traffic flow enhancements in Plumstead Township are mostly complete, the result of a $450,000 state grant awarded to the township in 2021.
These pedestrian expansions are an important piece of the broader Plumstead Village Revitalization Project, which aims to improve local amenities for residents.
Modifications and upgrades including sidewalks were slated for high-traffic areas. The intersection of Old Easton and Easton roads on both sides of Route 611 shines with streetlights, updated traffic signals, and new sidewalks.
Streetlights were installed between Plumstead Square and Plumstead shopping centers. Signaling for pedestrians was installed along active roadways for student safety and improved access to local businesses.
All lampposts and street lighting will be maintained by Plumstead’s Public Works Department or outside contractors, if needed.
The grants had the backing of State Senator Steve Stantarsiero (D-10) and Rep. Shelby Labs (R-143).
