Mile Enhancements Funded
An infusion of $850,000 in federal funds should substantially upgrade a paved path here known as the "Merchantville Mile". One of the borough's biggest projects in years is to add lights along a path already popular with daytime pedestrians and bicyclists, officials said. It's also to offer a crosswalk and ADA-accessible ramps for residents of a nearby senior housing complex. Those changes will ensure The Mile “can be enjoyed by a wider population while addressing current safety issues," the borough said
