STATEMENT

 

     This bill makes a supplemental appropriation of $400,000 from the General Fund to the Department of Transportation to fund the construction of a traffic signal at the entrance to the Shoppes at Hamilton on U.S. Route 130 in Hamilton Township, Mercer County.

     This signal will facilitate improved traffic flow along Route 130 near the entrance to the Shoppes, and provide easier access to the Shoppes for southbound traffic on Route 130 which currently must travel an additional 2.3 miles from the southbound point of the proposed traffic signal to the northbound entrance to the Shoppes.
