Borough work force supervisor Ronald Yuricheck has presented his list of summer street projects to Summit Hill Borough Council.
Paving includes the following streets:
• Walter Street from Chestnut Street to Oak Street, about 500 feet.
• West Mountaintop Road, a dirt road.
• Patch on Richards Avenue between Pine and Spruce Street.
• Chestnut Street from Amidon to Walter Street.
• Patch on the unit block of Barea Avenue.
• Patches on Summit Avenue between Oak and Spruce Streets.
• Patch on Walnut Street between Fell and Richards Avenue.
• Patch on Fell Street between Walnut and Market Streets.
* Patch on White Street between Poplar and Walnut Streets.
There also will be numerous storm inlet repairs and replacement. These locations are:
• White and Oak Street (southeast).
• Ludlow and Chestnut (southwest).
• Amidon Street near Miners Market (south side).
• Chestnut and Berea Avenue (southwest and southeast).
• Amidon and Chestnut Street (southwest).
Yuricheck said there are several other projects planned to include working with the school to have them purchase a flail mower for their tractor for cutting back brush, tree trimming of branches hanging onto streets for clearance of trucks for plowing, dig a swale along rear of 300 and 400 blocks of West Ludlow Street because of water backing into yards, and finding a plow to replace one that is a 1975 model.
He also urged the borough council to apply for a grant to replace Christmas lights on poles. He said the current lights are old and many have sockets that are bad and lights that are out on the decorations.
