Narberth council authorizes advertisement for 2025 road paving program; $300,000 budget cited
Summary
Council approved advertising the 2025 road paving program project; staff said the total budget is just above $300,000 and that work will include resurfacing, possible speed hump alternates and striping adjustments coordinated with public requests.
Council voted unanimously to advertise the borough's 2025 road paving program project, moving the program into the procurement stage.
Manager Jeff and staff said the program budget this year is just above $300,000, roughly in line with earlier estimates. The planned work includes resurfacing a portion of North York Roadway and other targeted streets. The contract will include alternates for speed humps on Meeting House Lane; staff said the decision to add alternate work depends on bid pricing and whether the borough prefers to assign the work to the contractor or have public works install them separately.
Councilmembers asked that striping and narrowing considerations be included where appropriate; staff said striping work is part of the budget and will be coordinated with the contractor. The borough said the fund for annual highway repairs comes from state highway money restricted to roadway projects.
Why this matters: Annual paving affects road safety, ride quality and maintenance budgets; the contract award will determine which roads receive improvements this year.
What happens next: Staff will advertise the project and accept bids. Council will review bids and award a contract; alternates such as speed humps will be considered after bids are received.
