Public works reports paving progress; Highland extension delayed by UGI gas-line work

The Public Works Director told council the police department parking lot project is finished (sealed and line-painted) and that demolition has begun at the Borough office front parking lot in preparation for paving. The office stormwater system was remodeled and wiring for security cameras is nearly complete. Big Rock Paving finished paving on Brown Ave, Penn Pine, Fairview and Highland, and the department has applied a scratch coat to Garfield; curb cuts continue to progress.

The extension of Highland going east remains incomplete because UGI is extending a gas line; Public Works said that work will be finished in spring 2024 after UGI completes its gas-line extension. The director also said he met with Big Rock about corrections to the paving work and reported 405/Mahoning paving is ongoing.
