Scott Twp. releases list of 33 roads to be paved this year
SCOTT TWP. - Some haven't been paved since 1994. The others were torn apart by a massive sewer project in 2011.
But the more than 30 township roads, long ignored or ravaged by the roughly $23 million project, will be resurfaced by the end of the year, officials said.
At a township meeting Thursday, supervisors released the list of the 33 roads included in this year's estimated $1.2 million paving project.
Officials said there is no timetable for construction. First, they need to submit the project specifications to the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service - which granted about $600,000 in loans - for approval.
Once the specifications are approved, officials will advertise the project for bid.
"We want to get this moving as fast as possible because we want to take care of these roads," Supervisor David Makala said. "It's been a long time coming."
Littered with potholes and cracks, the roads have been a source of frustration for residents for years, Supervisor Michael Giannetta said.
Roads slated for resurfacing include Novitsky Road, Lyndon Street, Meadow Drive, Hill Street, Laurel Drive, Hemlock Drive, Peaceful Valley Drive, Sunset Drive, Detty Drive, Whiteview Drive, Harvest Drive, Virbitsky Road, Cure Road, Grandview Drive, Sunset Lane, Clover Lane, School Side Drive, Grove Road, Rovinsky Road, Zury Road, Mundro Road, Brauer Road, Silver Meadow Lane, Forest Manor Drive, Spruce Road, Miller Road, Silver Maple Drive, Westview Drive, Eastview Drive, Fieldstone Drive, Hilltop Drive, Mary Street and Mount Bethel Road.
In other business, the board voted to accept the resignation of Lynn Ciuccoli, the township's real estate tax collector.
They voted to appoint Michael Ciuccoli to replace her and finish the remaining term, which ends in January. At the meeting Thursday, supervisors said they did not know whether the two were related.
Officials also said they didn't have the salary information available.
"That office cannot be left vacant for a long period of time right now," township solicitor Richard Fanucci said.
