Engineer: 2025 paving program, drainage projects, and Central Avenue crosswalks to be done this summer
Summary
Borough engineer reported the 2025 paving program will be contracted for work between mid‑July and mid‑August, and described Perry Street and DeWolf drainage projects and planned ADA ramp/crosswalk work on Central Avenue in coordination with the county.
The borough engineer outlined several upcoming public‑works projects that are expected this summer. Contracts for the 2025 paving program were awarded by consent; work is expected to occur from mid‑July to mid‑August with a specification deadline of Aug. 15. The engineer said drainage work on Perry Street phase 2 and DeWolf Section 7 is scheduled and that Central Avenue crosswalk ADA ramp work will proceed in coordination with the county, with plans to obtain contractor pricing and complete the work this summer.
Council members asked for a list of streets scheduled for repaving and for at least a week’s notice for residents ahead of construction. The engineer provided a preliminary list of streets and said he would coordinate timelines as contracts are finalized. He also noted that county approval may allow the borough to proceed without full design plans to expedite ADA ramp work.
