CARMICHAELS – Cumberland Township supervisors voted Monday to advertise for bids to pave streets in the township’s section of Rices Landing.
The streets, east of Crucible Road, include Sidney Avenue and Young, Walters, Walton, Frick and Breeze streets.
The township tarred and chipped the roads in the past as part of regular maintenance activities and will now pave them, supervisor Bill Groves said. The supervisors hope to have the work completed by June.
The supervisors agreed to purchase bunker gear for five firefighters with Crucible Volunteer Fire Company at a cost of $10,410.21. The gear will be purchased with the township’s Act 13 natural gas impact fee money.
The township also will contribute $70,000 of the township’s Act 13 money to improvements at the Nemacolin park and playground.
Several representatives of the community attended the supervisor’s meeting Monday to discuss the project. The group was asked to prioritize items on the list of improvements they wish to see completed with the money.
The list includes such work as rehabilitating the baseball field, resurfacing the basketball court, developing a walking trail and the purchase of equipment for fitness stations.
The supervisors voted to hire Eric George Orr as a part-time police officer at $14 an hour without benefits.
The supervisors also agreed to advertise for bids for stone, asphalt and oil for the summer road program and approved a resolution to participate in the state’s co-stars bidding program for road salt for next year’s winter season.
