Oakmont is just about done with its street paving for the year
Jay Quade, senior inspector for Senate Engineering, said line painting at Tenth Street and Hulton Road and curb painting along Washington Avenue are all that remains of the nearly $302,000 contract awarded to Shields Asphalt Paving.
Council Monday night approved a payment of a little more than $257,400 to the company with the rest to be approved next month should the remaining work be done.
The sub-contractor expected to do the painting is Bethel Park-based Parking Lot Paving Co.
Quade said he recently inspected the roads.
“I think they look wonderful,” He said. “I think the project turned out very well.”
Streets on the paving list included:
• Virginia Avenue from 12th Street to the cul-de-sac.
• Woodland Avenue from the paving seam east of Wade Lane to the cul-de-sac.
• Fairways Drive from Oak Street to Pinehurst Lane.
• Eighth Street from Hulton Road to Virginia Avenue.
• Dogwood Way from Pennsylvania Avenue to Virginia Avenue.
• Washington Avenue from Allegheny Avenue to Third Street.
• Willows Drive from Washington to California avenues.
• High Street from Washington Avenue to the dead end.
• Virginia Avenue from Sixth Street to the dead end.
• First Street from Delaware Avenue to the dead end.
• The boat ramp at the Allegheny River.
Borough officials budgeted about $350,000 for the infrastructure upgrades.
Council had awarded a separate $37,300 line painting contract to Parking Lot Paving earlier this year.
Crews did line striping along Allegheny River Boulevard from Library Place to Washington Avenue.
That project was done and paid for nearly two months ago.
The line striping is a pedestrian safety project inspired by a traffic study and a borough Girl Scout.
Its goal is to improve crosswalks. The crosswalks look like piano keys on the main streets and mid-block intersections.
