Peters Township Authorizes Upgrades

Peters Township Council approved two measures that will bring upgrades to a traffic signal and add a scoreboard to Peterswood Park. The township will make use of a $219,996 grant from the PennDot Automated Red Light Enforcement Transportation Enhancements Grant Program. The township is required to provide a dollar for dollar match. The township will shoulder a $22,589 shortfall due to bids exceeding the grant request. The total for the new traffic signal is $462,582 and will be installed at the intersection of Rt. 19 and Gallery Drive. That signal was installed in 1988. Council also approved the purchase of a scoreboard to replace a scoreboard at Joe Maize Field in Peterswood Park. The Daktronics scoreboard will cost $36,365 and replace the current non-functioning scoreboard.
