Union City Council approves $400,000 grant application for Willow Street bridge replacement
Summary
Union City Borough voted unanimously June 25 to approve a $400,000 Multimodal Transportation Fund grant application to replace the Willow Street bridge. Councilors said the funding would cover needed additional funds to move the project forward; solicitor review and engineering steps remain.
Union City Borough Council voted unanimously on June 25 to approve a resolution authorizing a $400,000 application to the Pennsylvania Multimodal Transportation Fund to replace the bridge on Willow Street.
The resolution, moved by Councilor Osborn and seconded by Councilor Kerns, was approved without debate. Council members said the multimodal grant would provide the additional funds needed to replace the aging Willow Street bridge and help advance the project to design and construction phases. Council did not specify a construction timetable during the meeting.
Borough Manager Cindy Wells provided background to councilors that the grant application is intended to supplement other local funding sources and recommended submission. Council did not record a discussion of alternate funding sources or an estimated total project cost in the minutes.
The approval is procedural: the council authorized staff to submit the $400,000 grant application. Subsequent steps will include any required grant application documentation, possible matching funds, and any required engineering or solicitor review before contracts are executed.
The council then moved to other agenda items; the meeting adjourned at 7:21 p.m.
