CRANBERRY TWP — The board of supervisors approved additional road maintenance projects at its Thursday, April 2, meeting, including a line painting program for its busier, high-traffic corridors and a paving program for just over $2 million total.

According to the township, the line painting will include repainting its long-line markings, including double yellow center lines and white edge lines.

Street paving efforts this summer will impact Chadborne Court, Kimberwicke Drive, the Cranberry portion of Thorn Hill Road, the municipal building’s rear parking lot, the public works’ fuel island, the fire department’s park station rear lot and various other patches that need to be covered.

The township will pay $1.155 million to Youngblood Paving for street resurfacing. It will also pay $1.057 million to Russell Standard for fiber-reinforced chip seal with fog seal coat, cape seal and crack seal.

Dan Santoro, township manager, said the road painting and paving projects are things they do every year, but are part of efforts to keep improving Cranberry and its resources as the population continues to grow, bringing more residents and more cars. The township has a population of over 35,000, part of a trend of growth.

Other, smaller infrastructure projects are also being looked at. The supervisors approved a design services contract for the Upper Coal Run culvert project, which will “evaluate drainage and infrastructure improvements.” The township has previously done water shed studies for Upper Coal Run.

Supervisors also approved various repair projects for recreational facilities, such as fixing surfaces at Graham Park’s pickleball and fitness court studio and volleyball and basketball court designs for Cranberry Township Community Park. The township will spend about $300,000 combined on those projects.

The township also awarded a $172,000 design services contract to Designstream, LLC to look at potential police department renovation, which would accommodate a growing department.

“I think spring is certainly building season, so where there’s been a lull in construction because of winter and more recent weather, things will pick up. In terms of new developments, we’ve seen the same pace,” Santoro said. “Sometimes there’s a lot. I felt this was a particularly light agenda, but I know there’s things from the planning commission that should make its way up here next month.”

Supervisors also approved the subdivision of multiple existing lots at the meeting. The subdivision will help create multiple new units on the properties along Nolan Circle, near the township’s northwestern end by Powell Road.
