Council approves $546K Kinsley Construction contract for street improvements

York City Council has taken significant steps towards improving local infrastructure during its recent meeting on May 28, 2025. The council approved a resolution to award a contract to Kinsley Construction for the 2025 Street Improvement Project, totaling $546,328. This project will focus on paving five key streets in the city, enhancing accessibility and safety for residents.

The streets slated for improvement include sections of Pennsylvania Avenue, North Street, North Queen Street, Elm Street, and East Clark Avenue. The council emphasized the importance of staying within budget, noting that the total funding for street updates was estimated at $894,000. The project is expected to begin in August, with completion anticipated shortly thereafter, pending final confirmations from the county.

In addition to the street improvements, discussions also touched on the coordination of road work with utility companies. Council members expressed the need for better collaboration to ensure that water, sewer, and gas projects align with street paving efforts, which could help minimize disruptions and maximize efficiency.

The council's proactive approach to infrastructure development reflects a commitment to enhancing the quality of life for York City residents. As the project moves forward, updates will be provided to keep the community informed about progress and any potential changes to the timeline. The next steps will be discussed in the upcoming legislative agenda on June 3, where further actions will be solidified.
