The Chester County Department of Community Development awarded Phoenixville a grant of more than $727,000 as part of a revitalization program for the Bridge and Starr streets improvement project. The project will modernize the existing three-way intersection, allowing for a better flow of traffic and increased pedestrian safety by adding a straight-through lane on Starr Street, extending Starr Street north. With the addition of the fourth lane, residents and visitors will be able to safely access the borough-managed Ashland Street parking lot and the Schuylkill River Trail trailhead. The project is estimated to cost $3 million. The borough was previously awarded a $600,000 state grant in 2023. The borough has funds allocated for the project and expects design and engineering to begin this fall. State Sen. Katie Muth (D-44) said the grant will address public safety, pedestrian access and stormwater management.
