Council approves engineering fees for Brookview and West Hill repaving; total project cost estimated at $800K$900K
Summary
Council approved engineering fees to move forward with repaving Brookview and West Hill roads, estimating construction costs between $800,000 and $900,000 and noting a grant toward West Hill.
The council approved engineering fees to advance repaving projects for Brookview and West Hill roads, with council leadership estimating construction costs in the $800,000 to $900,000 range. Council President Stern said the borough expects to put the project out to bid this summer.
Why it matters: The council said it will increase road spending this year from a typical $300,000 to approximately $900,000 to address long-standing infrastructure needs. Stern noted that the borough secured a grant for West Hill that will offset some costs.
Details and attribution: Stern said the roads are expensive to repair and that the engineering approvals are the first step before soliciting bids. He emphasized the councils renewed emphasis on infrastructure after earlier years of limited repairs.
Next steps: The borough expects to advertise bids and pursue construction during the summer; engineering-fee approval authorizes design and procurement work to proceed.
