Liberty Street Sidewalk Project<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites the public to view an online plans display for the Liberty Street Streetscape Project (Route 62\/322\/8) in the City of Franklin, Venango County.<\/p>\n

The project includes the sidewalks along the section of Liberty Street from the intersection with 12th<\/sup> Street to the intersection with 14th<\/sup> Street.<\/p>\n

Work will include upgrades to the existing sidewalk and lighting to meet safety and ADA standards, such as removal of bricks and new light poles. Crosswalk improvements will also be done.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Work is expected to occur in the 2021 construction season.<\/p>\n

The program will require a pedestrian detour. Access to businesses will be maintained throughout the duration of the project.<\/p>\n

Motorists may encounter traffic controlled by flaggers as needed to complete work at intersections.<\/p>\n

This project is being federally funding by the Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside Program, which is administered by PennDOT in coordination with the City of Franklin.<\/p>\n

The virtual plans display includes a short PowerPoint, digital picture boards, and an online comment form. It can be accessed by visiting the PennDOT District 1 website, www.penndot.gov\/District1<\/a>, clicking on Public Meetings\/Studies listed under the Resources heading, and choosing Venango County box then the tile marked Liberty Streetscape Project<\/a>.<\/p>\n
