Township approves $15,000 proposal to inventory traffic signals and prepare grants
Summary
West Rock Hill supervisors approved a $15,000 proposal from Bowman Engineering to inventory traffic signals, assess compliance and deficiencies, and produce a prioritized list to support multiple grant applications.
Township Manager Lippincott presented a Bowman Engineering proposal to inventory the township’s traffic signals, evaluate compliance with PennDOT permit requirements, document deficiencies, and prepare prioritized recommendations and grant‑application materials. "It's $15,000," Lippincott said.
The work is intended to create a comprehensive inventory and identify which grants suit each signal, and to recommend operational and safety improvements. The board voted to authorize the $15,000 proposal so the township can pursue single or combined grant applications.
Why it matters: An up‑to‑date inventory and prioritized grant-ready documentation can increase the township’s competitiveness in securing external funding for signal upgrades and safety improvements.
What’s next: Bowman Engineering will begin the inventory and report findings; the manager cautioned residents to expect a likely snow emergency this weekend and urged caution on roads.
