Yaw, Owlett: More Than $1 Million Awarded for Westfield Sidewalk Project

HARRISBURG - State Sen. Gene Yaw (R-23) and State Rep. Clint Owlett (R-68) today announced nearly $1.08 million has been awarded to Westfield Borough for a sidewalk replacement project.

The funding will be used to construct new sidewalks, curbing, ramps and crosswalk access along the southern side of Main Street from Riverside Park to the eastern border of the borough.

"The current sidewalks are in disrepair, which creates a safety hazard for anyone walking in that area," Owlett said. "Westfield is a wonderfully welcoming community, and I'm pleased to work with Sen. Yaw to support this much-needed improvement to the town."

"Today's award will improve pedestrian safety and modernize aging infrastructure in Westfield Borough for years to come," Yaw said. "I was pleased to work alongside Rep. Owlett in supporting this funding."

The funding was awarded through the 2025 Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside (TASA) of the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Surface Block Grant Program.

TASA provides funding for projects and activities defined as transportation alternatives, including on- and off-road pedestrian and bicycle facilities; infrastructure projects for improving non-driver access to public transportation and enhanced mobility; community improvement activities; environmental mitigation; trails that serve a transportation purpose; and safe routes to school.
