CRANBERRY TWP — Partnering with neighboring municipalities, the township submitted a Safe Streets & Roads for All grant Thursday, June 29, to improve pedestrian mobility in southwest Butler County.

“So the intent is for us, Jackson Township, Harmony and Zelienople borough to come together and do this ‘Safety Action Plan,’ if you will,” Cranberry Township manager Dan Santoro said.

Awarded through the federal Department of Transportation, the program is in its second round of funding, with $800 million awarded in 2022.

The program’s planning grant will help the municipalities develop solutions for increased connectivity and safety in the region, according to Santoro.
