Dent seeks $6 million from Congress for Route 22 work

U.S. Rep. Charlie Dent has asked Congress for $6 million to help renovate part of Route 22 as part of a massive highway bill up for renewal this year.

[Dennis Mac]

"... the Surface Transportation Reauthorization Act of 2009, sets aside $337 billion for highways,$100 billion for public transportation and $50 billion for high-speed rail."

Well, I guess that shows us where the priorities are, and that the gov't is planning to use more foreign oil in the future.

$11.2 million for the 22 work? More like $112 million. Somebody has their figures wrong.

Why is he still in office

$11.2 M is for the ramps only. They should just make 22W exit 145S and use the new turn around at HomeDepot and close the 145N ramp. NOPE instead they will spend 11.2 Million to update the ramp. Just as they are spending 12 million for the turn around at Eberhart Road to stop Left turns from 145S that can be done at the new WAWA intersection.

That would create pretty bad gridlock....
