Haddonfield has received a $825,000 grant from the New Jersey Department of Transportation’s Safe Streets to Transit Program to improve pedestrian crossing on Kings Highway.

The proposed project focuses on enhancing pedestrian infrastructure from Haddon Avenue to Washington Avenue, Washington Avenue from Kings Highway to Euclid and Rosedale Avenue. The work will represent the first stage of a multi-phased project focusing on ADA-compliant curbing and sidewalks, traffic markings and signage and traffic signals and signage.

The improvements are designed to promote safe and accessible pedestrian routes, facilitate easier access to transit and promote active transportation in the borough. To that end, the project’s next phase is intended to address safe routes to the Central and middle schools. 

Haddonfield – with help from its Special Projects Engineer, Environmental Resolutions Inc. – applied for the grant in the summer of 2024 and received a letter of approval from NJDOT Commissioner Francis O’Conner earlier this month.

A timeline for the start of construction will be announced early next year.
