The safety and accessibility project includes the installation of new handicapped-accessible curb cuts and pedestrian push-buttons at the four corners at 13th and Liberty Streets and at the mid-block crossing in the 1200 block of Liberty Street.
Motorists and pedestrians are advised to pay attention to the signage directing them around the project area.
In a special meeting earlier this month Franklin City Council awarded the contract for the work to Blue Rock Construction in the amount of $96,804.37. The firm submitted the lower of two bids received for the contract.
Project funding includes a $100,000 PennDOT multimodal transportation grant and a match of $45,801 from the city’s Downtown Development Fund.
The project is expected to be substantially complete by Sept. 30.
