Daily News | Roosevelt Boulevard safety efforts get a $78 million boost from federal infrastructure bill
The money is expected to advance the city’s $134 million Route for Change project, making the dangerous 12-mile stretch safer for pedestrians
For Byrd, cofounder of the nonprofit Families for Safe Streets, Monday’s announcement that a project intended to make Roosevelt Boulevard safer will receive a $78 million boost from the federal government was a long time coming.Advertisement “When you send your tax dollars to Washington, you ought to see something come back in a very tangible and specific way for improvements in quality of life,” Casey said. “This is one of those investments.”Between 2012 and 2021, accidents along Roosevelt Boulevard killed 119 people, including 49 pedestrians, according to PennDot data.
“He doesn’t talk at all about what happened,” Byrd said. “However, I have been speaking for him, advocating for safer streets.”
