Board approves application for DCED multimodal grant for Chichester Avenue phase 5
Summary
Commissioners voted to apply to the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development's 2026 multimodal transportation fund for Phase 5 of the Chichester Avenue Corridor Streetscape project to advance streetscape improvements.
Commissioner Duriega moved and the board approved a resolution authorizing application to the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) 2026 multimodal transportation fund for Phase 5 of the Chichester Avenue Corridor Streetscape project.
The measure passed on a voice vote after a motion and second. Staff noted this is part of a multi-phase streetscape and transportation improvement effort; the DCED multimodal fund was identified as a likely funding source. Commissioners did not record a detailed fiscal match or budget breakdown in the transcript; staff will return with grant documents and any required local match information.
If awarded, the grant would fund a portion of engineering, pedestrian amenities and corridor improvements identified in Phase 5; the board must still approve any grant acceptance and appropriations.
