City to use state grants to improve intersection safety.

Written by Amy Whipple

  • The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s Automated Red Light Enforcement Grant Program will fund intersection improvements at:
  • Centre Avenue and North Dithridge Street (North Oakland) for $335,981.88
  • The intersection will receive a traffic light where there is now a two-way stop.
  • East General Robinson Street and Sandusky Street (North Shore) for $647,049.45
  • Changes will include a modernized traffic signal and implementation of a road diet designed to improve pedestrian safety.
  • The city has committed to a variety of street safety plans in recent years, including neighborhood traffic calming measures as well as upgraded traffic signals that increase the lens diameter from 8 to 12 inches.

A previous version of this article mistakenly referred to the intersections as the first two sites for automated red light enforcement cameras.
