4 city streets will be repaved in August

The city will have four streets repaved and a new surface will be put down on seven others beginning the second week of August.

City council on Thursday night approved a bid of more than $99,000 to Shields Asphalt Paving for work on the four larger streets.

Broad Street will be repaved between Brady and New Castle streets.

Also to be paved are College Street, Negley Avenue and Morton Avenue.

Negley Avenue will be repaved from Chestnut Street to the sewage holding tanks.

Morton Avenue’s eastbound lane, coming off Route 8, will be repaved.

All of College Street will be repaved.

The Street Department will put down the new surface — known as an overlay — on the other streets.

These streets include Dr Pepper Street, the alley behind Niagara Bank, Forest Street, Hallett Street, a section of Peach Street, the alley beside Camissa’s Hair, and Reed Street.

Councilman Richard Schontz Jr. said the work should be completed by the start of school.

Carbon Street is being repaved, but that is not part of the Shields Asphalt bid.

The Streets Department recently finished sealing cracks in streets. Eleven streets were repaired, costing about $4,300.
