Whitehall Township has eight street reconstruction projects lined up for 2013.
Mayor Edward D. Hozza Jr. indicated the proposed road projects include the following:
· Fairview Street (Fifth to Second Street) in West Catasauqua, $109,206.
· Lincoln Avenue (Miller to Bridge) in West Catasauqua, $12,900.
· Calvert Street (Fifth to start of cul-de-sac) in Fullerton, $51,394.
· Ruch Street (Chestnut to Center) in Stiles, Whitehall portion, $39,720.
· Peachtree Circle (Madison to return back to Robert Street), $152,483, base repair $34,080.
· Carbon Street (west of Sodl Lane to Clay Street) Hokendauqua, $56,249.
· Spring Mill Road (Spruce to Route 145/MacArthur Road) Egypt, $15,710.
In 2013, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds are available for the repaving of Pennsylvania Street (Virginia Avenue to Fifth Street).
In cases where curb or pavement improvements are needed for the projects, the property owners have been notified of what is needed for compliance so the street work is not impeded.
Other expenditures for public works include the proposed Fullerton storm water repair installation project costing $26,000.
Also included is the proposed street light replacement of Peach Tree Circle street lights to black colonial LED fixtures at a $55,000 price tag.
