2019 PAVING PROJECT UPDATE – The paving project began this morning and is on schedule to be completed this week. Walnut Street and Cedar Street were milled today and had the sub-base inspected by the Borough Engineer. The Contractor’s work schedule for tomorrow includes; placement of leveling course paving on the milled areas of Walnut and Cedar Streets, milling of Highland Avenue (after the start of the school day) and final paving of Cedar Street. The final paving of Walnut Street and Highland Avenue are tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, September 11th.

Due to school being open and the presence of children before and after school, extra safety precautions have been taken including adjusting the working hours of the Contractor, notification of the School District and advance planning with the Police  Department including additional Police presence for safety during the arrival and dismissal process.

The 2019 paving project includes the milling and paving of  Walnut Street between Greenwood & West Avenues, Highland Avenue between West & Hillside Avenues, as well as Cedar Street between Willow Street & Summit Avenue. During the milling and paving operation these roads will not be open to through traffic and residents will have limited access to their driveways. Street parking will be restricted during the milling and paving operations, residents with driveways are encouraged to use them and properties utilizing street parking will need to find alternate locations during this project. If you have any circumstances/needs requiring special arrangements please contact Borough Hall so those arrangements can be made. Avoidance of the project area is recommended while work is being performed for the safety of the General Public and Contractors performing the work, as well as to avoid possible delays.

There will be continued communication and updates during this project that will include scheduling, parking restrictions, road restrictions and or closures. The Borough is excited to have this project completed and would like to thank all the residents and business owners for your patience and understanding during the infrastructure work and the restoration and repaving of the streets.

If you have an emergency please dial 911, if you have any questions please call Borough hall 215 885 0700.
