County has secured $750,000. 00 in transportation alternatives set aside (tasa) funds to reconstruct pedestrian facilities along state route 150 in the borough of flemington, from huston street to the bald eagle creek. The majority of the sidewalk alignment is not compliant with the americans with disabilities act. There is a 200-foot section of roadway that lacks pedestrian facilities, forcing pedestrians and bicyclists to walk or ride in the active state roadway with an adt of 10,594. To resolve this situation, penndot has awarded tasa funding to perform the following construction activities: 1. Remove sections of deteriorated concrete sidewalks, curb cuts and slate sidewalks and replace them with concrete sidewalks that meeting penndot rc standards. 2. Install rc standard curb ramps. 3. Install a pedestrian ramp on canal street. 4. Install a prefabricated pedestrian bridge adjacent to the existing bald eagle canal bridge solely for the purposes of pedestrian and bicycle traffic. 5. Install pavement markings, curbing and curb islands to protect pedestrians and delineate traffic into and out of local parking lots.
