A new federal program to plan and implement road safety improvements awarded a total of $25 million to 11 municipalities, counties and agencies.
The Safe Roads for All program grants support the federal DOT’s vision of zero roadway deaths and itsthat was launched in January 2022 to make the nation’s roadways safer.
The lone construction grant in New Jersey is $20 million for Chestnut Avenue Safety Improvements and Rehabilitation in Vineland. The grant funds improvements on a 2.3-mile corridor of Chestnut Avenue between Route 47 and Main Road. Plans call for improvements to separate vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians to reduce crashes. That will be done by converting the four-lane road to a three-lane section with a two way left-turn lane; installing lighting, Americans with Disabilities Act compliant walkways, bicycle lanes; lighting to increase visibility at crosswalks; modernized traffic signals; and rehabilitating sidewalks, USDOT officials said.
USDOT awarded 10 action planning grants to help improve road safety to Dunellen Borough, Atlantic City, Cape May, Paterson and Medford Township. Four counties, Essex, Hudson Monmouth and Union, will receive grants, as will the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority. The planning grants help communities that don’t have a road safety plan in place to reduce traffic fatalities by developing a comprehensive set of actions, USDOT officials said.
