State Sen. Steve Santarsiero recently toured the 10th Senate District with PennDOT officials to review ongoing projects and look at areas in need of repair.
The road tour, which included six stops and dozens of roads, was guided by constituent and municipal feedback, according to a statement from Santarsiero’s office.
The Democratic state senator’s office maintains a rolling list of road repair requests and regularly shares it with PennDOT.
“My office hears from constituents and municipalities regularly with concerns about the condition of our roadways, particularly as we see many of our roadways showing their age and struggling to meet growing traffic demands in our region,” Santarsiero said. “I am committed to working with PennDOT to address the projects highlighted on this year’s tour.”
The tour traveled through Upper Makefield Township and Santarsiero applauded the expedited repaving of River Road.
“It has been a priority of mine to work with PennDOT to get this road into better shape, making it a safer and more pleasant drive for residents and visitors,” he said.
In New Hope Borough, Santarsiero led PennDOT to the intersection of South Sugan Road at Old York Road to look safety concerns raised by constituents.
PennDOT officials will explore traffic calming measures to improve safety at the curve in the roadway in the borough.
The tour also stopped at Cold Spring Creamery Road in Buckingham Township, where State Rep. Tim Brennan and township officials discussed the need for patching this fall.
In Solebury Township, PennDOT will stabilize a wall adjacent to the Phillip’s Mill Community Association along River Road this fall. PennDOT will add an asphalt lip to track water away from the wall and prevent erosion.
The tour also made visits to Route 202 and Route 611 in Doylestown Township and East Butler Avenue in Chalfont Borough. Additionally, it stopped in Bristol, Falls, and Lower Makefield townships.
“Every year on the road tour we check off projects from previous year’s lists and add more requests for PennDOT to take care of,” Santarsiero said. “This work never ends, but each project is an important opportunity to improve safety for those who use these roads.”
Santarsiero’s district runs from Bristol Borough to Chalfont Borough.
