The 2018 paving project is now scheduled to commence and be completed the week of October 22 / 26. In addition to the Borough issued notifications, the paving Contractor, General Asphalt, is required to make direct notification to the residents on the roads to be milled and paved.
The 2018 paving project includes the following work:
- Milling and paving of the following roads: Florence Avenue (West Avenue to Runnymede Avenue), Hillside Avenue (Walnut Street to York Road) and Leedom Street (Hillside Avenue to Cloverly Avenue).
- Re-installation of the speed hump on Hillside Avenue and installation of a speed hump on Cedar Street.
- Safety enhancement striping at Hillside Avenue and Walnut Street to include; four colonial striped crosswalks, stop bars and updated high reflectivity signage.
Avoidance of the project area is recommended while work is being performed for the safety of the Construction workers and to avoid possible delays.
It should be noted that during the milling operation the roads being milled will be open to through traffic with limited delays and residents will have continued access to their driveways.
Then, during the paving operation the roads being paved 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.
There will be continued communication and updates during this project that will include scheduling, parking restrictions, road restrictions and or closures.
The construction on the 2018 Handicap Ramp Project is now 98% complete. To date 55 handicap ramps have been installed throughout the Borough. Constructing handicap ramps on existing roads and conditions that meet current code standards can be challenging and in some cases included unexpected incidental construction. The Borough Engineer, Borough Administration, Public Works Foreman and Contractor (NJS) have coordinated efforts to successfully mitigate these issues. The preliminary list of issues reported and observed has been compiled (punchlist). The final walkthrough inspection will be attended by the Borough Public Works, Borough Engineer and Contractor and is scheduled to take place on Monday, October 15th. Any required repairs will be placed on the Final punchlist and the Contractor will address the issues so that the Contract/Grant can be closed out.
The Borough is looking forward to having these infrastructure projects completed and would like to thank all the residents and business owners for your patience, cooperation and understanding during these infrastructure improvement projects.
Thank you and if you should have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact Borough hall at (215) 885 0700.
