Montrose Borough Council members opened and awarded paving bids for this season’s planned projects at the Monday, May 2 meeting.

Vestal Asphalt was awarded the micro-surfacing job, with a bid of about $62,000; and Wayco will complete the True & Level paving work after coming in with a bid of just under $42,358.

 Micro-surfacing will be completed on Berry St., from Spruce to SR 706; Cruser St, from Lake Ave., to Conference Rd.; Conference Rd., from Cruser to Lake Ave.; Griffis Hill, from Prospect to Griffis streets; Griffis St.; Maple St., from Public Ave. to Spruce St.; Maple Street parking; Mitchell Hill; Pickett St.; Prospect St., from Lake Ave. to Chenango St.; Spruce St., from Chenango to Church St.; and Torrey St., from Lake Ave. to Cruser St.

True & Level roadwork – a superpave, asphalt mixture – is planned for Griffis St.; and Prospect St., from Chenango St. to Rt. 167.

Council also reviewed Memorial Park mowing applications, with Start to Finish being offered the job.

In other business, council accepted the resignation of Planning Commission member, James McArthur, who has moved from the area.

Borough council members also discussed deteriorating road conditions on Lake Avenue. Members of council, along with the street department, plan to discuss the situation with PennDOT to see how to best address the issues with ditching and the road surface.

The borough is also looking to better organize the wood chip/compost area. Residents bringing wood chips to the site are being asked to not place new, fresh chips on top of the pile of seasoned, ready-to-use chips. Signs will be posted to better direct residents.
