Union City Borough Council voted unanimously June 25 to approve a resolution authorizing an application for a $400,000 Multimodal Transportation Fund grant to replace the Willow Street bridge.
Councilor Osborn moved to approve the grant application; Councilor Kerns seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Six councilors were present and voted yes; one member, Winkler, was absent.
Borough officials said the grant would provide the additional funding needed to proceed with the bridge replacement on Willow Street. The council did not specify a construction timeline or additional local match requirements during the meeting.
The resolution now allows borough staff to prepare and submit the formal application for the Multimodal Transportation Fund. Further project design, engineering and any required local match or permitting steps were not detailed in the meeting minutes.
Next steps: staff will submit the grant application and return to council with updates on award status, required match and project schedule if the borough is invited to proceed.
