Resident urges geotechnical review of subsiding turn near Asbury/Cavett Road; council acknowledges problem
A resident asked Monroeville council on Sept. 2 to address a deteriorating turn on Asbury and Cavett roads that residents say is subsiding and becoming difficult to navigate.

Lois Drumheller said she spoke for neighbors in the Third and Fourth wards who travel from Route 22 past Cavett Road and beyond, and described the turn as "becoming and subsiding of the road" in a way that suggests a structural subgrade problem. She noted the road had been paved in 2019 but said underlying issues have caused the surface to buckle.

Council members and staff responded that they had heard similar reports from residents and that council member Crut (or the appropriate public-works staff) had spoken with residents and with Councilman Hugus about the issue. A council member indicated the borough intends to have a geotechnical engineer look at the location and develop a plan; the resident asked only that the council communicate that intention to affected residents.

No vote or funding decision was made at the citizens-night meeting; staff said the matter would be communicated to residents and investigated further.
