Council received updated information regarding the Sister Street and Cemetery Road resurfacing project. Last month, council agreed to proceed with a grinding and paving project that had a preliminary estimate of just over $26,000 contingent on the budget staying at or beneath the original quote with ditch work to be performed by Canton Township at an additional fee. Councilmembers sought other professional road construction opinions and found the original estimate to be understated for the scope of the project that had been outlined.
The new speed limit signs have been shipped and are expected to arrive soon. Council is awaiting a response from Penn DOT as to their correct placement along the roadways. Councilmembers remarked that it is hoped that the new and increased signage will remind drivers of the posted 35mph speed limit.
