Highway superintendent: CHIPS and Pave New York funds to target Pine Kill roadwork, crews preparing for resurfacing
Summary
Highway Superintendent Tom told the board crews are finishing winter repairs and will use CHIPS and Pave New York funding to repave priority roads including sections of Pine Kill; he said chip sealing is planned where appropriate.
Highway Superintendent Tom told the Town of Mamakating board that crews are finishing winter‑damage repairs and will soon begin preparing roads listed for resurfacing: cutting back trees, ditching and replacing antiquated metal culverts with newer pipe where needed.
Tom said the town received “a little bit” more CHIPS money this year, which he described as insufficient to do every planned resurfacing but adequate to complete work on priority segments such as Pine Kill and parts of Pineill. He said Pave New York funds and emergency winter‑repair allocations will also be used to address additional roads on the town’s list. Tom said he hopes to chip‑seal some stretches after major repairs.
Tom described operational steps: finish winter‑damage repairs, prepare roads and coordinate with pavers once work is ready. The report did not specify exact project cost estimates or a firm schedule for each road; those details appear to remain with highway staff and contractors.
