Road work projects set in South Fayette
South Fayette Township Manager Ryan Eggleston discussed the 2014 summer paving plan with commissioners at a meeting Thursday. The proposed $302,529 plan includes paving for portions of the Fairview neighborhood.
Roads included in the plan are Lawnshadow Drive, Greenwood Drive to the entrance to Fairview Park, Woodhaven Drive and Firwood Drive. Those roads will be milled and paved. Parks Road, West Bridge Drive and Bowman Road are scheduled to be tarred and chipped this summer.
Eggleston said he is looking to have bids back by May and move forward with paving in the summer.
Eggleston also informed the board that the bridge that passes over Coal Run at the intersection of Washington Pike and Bursca Drive in the township is slated to be replaced this summer. It is a state Department of Transportation project.
Route 50 is set for upgrades in 2015. The upgrades include paving and resurfacing portions of the road in the township, Eggleston said. He added that the Cecil portion of the project could start sometime this summer.
Eggleston also said the township is moving forward with the school resource officer at the South Fayette Township School District. The district was awarded a grant for a resource officer, which is to be a township police officer.
The position has been posted within the police department and Eggleston said the officer should be in the school this spring.
