The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $399,341 to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) on July 23, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to fund the Mid-East Girard Avenue streetscape improvement project in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This formula grant supports comprehensive infrastructure restoration along State Route 2008 from Front Street to Wilt Street, encompassing replacement of granite curbs, sidewalks, curb-cut ramps, and roadway and cross-walk pavement markings. The project scope also includes installation and upgrades to street lighting, signs, and landscaping, as well as resetting of inlets, fire hydrants, bluestone elements, and trash receptacles.

PennDOT has designated the City of Philadelphia as the sub-grantee responsible for implementation of the Mid-East Girard Avenue Streetscape Project through its Office of Homeless Services division. This infrastructure improvement project advances the FHWA's statutory mandate to assist states in the construction, preservation, and improvement of highway systems and related transportation infrastructure, with project selection occurring through established state transportation planning processes and coordination with local authorities.
