Borough to Repave Sunset Avenue
Project Covered By State DOT Grant
Councilman Chris Johnson said bids for the resurfacing and repair of Sunset Avenue have come in considerably under cost projections and the entire project will be covered by a $200,000 state Department of Transportation grant. Sunset Avenue will be repaved and new curbing will be added where needed. Handicapped accessible curb cuts will be added at the corners. New trees will also be planted. The project could start in late April or early May.
“The project will not only beautify the area but it will help support home values on Sunset Avenue, said Johnson, who chairs the council committee on public works. The councilman said the bids for the project came in at under $130,000. Allowing for any cost overruns, the project should be completed well within the limits of the DOT grant.
“This project shouldn’t cost our taxpayers a dime,” said Johnson.
