Planned Cranberry Township projects include police reno, pickleball paving, street line painting
CRANBERRY TWP — The township’s board of supervisors expects to approve a slew of summer projects at its April 2 regular meeting.
These include renovating the police department building, fixing up park and recreational facilities, road projects and a drainage project.
At the board’s agenda setting meeting Thursday, March 26, township manager Dan Santoro and engineer Michael Malak recommended supervisors approve a number of contracts and bidding next week for upcoming projects.
The police department is included in the final phase of renovations at the Cranberry Township Municipal Building. Santoro recommended the board approve a contract with Designstream, an Allegheny County architecture firm.
A renovation would address a range of deferred maintenance needs, upgrade mechanical systems and “support more functional and adaptable work environments.” A total project cost was not immediately available.
The board will also vote on a roof replacement at Haine Fire Station for $64,000 needed after past storm damage.
The board will vote to approve contracts for upgrades at multiple athletic facilities. At Graham Park, an acrylic surfacing project for the pickleball court will cost $57,500 if approved. Malak said the project received “a lot of competitive bids.”
Graham Park would also see the installation of an outdoor fitness court. The project is funded by the Cranberry Foundation as its “project of the year.” The township also received a $30,000 grant from the National Fitness Campaign, an organization that specifically works with schools and municipalities.
The board will vote to award the design for construction of new sand volleyball and basketball courts. Malak said the work will be funded through grants from the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for $256,000.
The board will also vote April 2 on authorization to bid its 2026 line painting program, an “annual program we do every year,” Malak said.
In addition, the board will vote on approving contracts for road paving — a superpave street resurfacing contract for $1.115 million and a seal contract for $1.057 million.
“There was concern with the things that are happening worldwide and with prices skyrocketing that our bids would come in a little higher, but I’m happy to say that they came in at or below budget,” Malak said.
