Loading...
Summary
Borough engineer JC told council the road program bid opening is set for April 21 and he expects a recommendation at the next regular meeting; he also reported a positive PennDOT letter on a parking-lot permit, ongoing sidewalk installations on Springfield Road and pursuit of a multimodal grant for the East Side between Baltimore and Sycamore.
JC, the borough engineer, told Clifton Heights council members that the road program work has been advertised and the bid opening is scheduled for April 21; he said he expects to bring a recommendation to the next regular council meeting.
JC also reported a positive PennDOT letter for the 2 West Baltimore Pike parking-lot improvement project, noting the borough still awaits a final site meeting required before formal permit approval. He said sidewalks are being installed on Springfield Road where recent work placed stormwater pipe but did not include curb or sidewalk, and that the borough is pursuing a PennDOT multimodal grant for Springfield Road East (Baltimore to Sycamore) to fund sidewalk and multimodal improvements.
On stormwater work on Madison, JC said staff created a legal description and are working with John McBlaine to record a permanent easement for the 'willows' property to allow the borough to proceed with system improvements. "I will have a full report in two weeks," JC said, committing to present recommendations at the next council meeting.
Council did not take any bid awards at this meeting; the engineer said procurement steps are on schedule and that final permit approvals (including PennDOT sign-off) and any required easement recordings will be reported as they are completed.
