Middletown officials laid out their plan for repaving streets and township properties this year.

Last week, the Board of Supervisors voted to advertise and solicit bids for the work.

Pat Duffy, director of zoning and building, said the township is looking to pave Heatons Mill Drive, Heatons Mill Circle, Branford Way, Colby Lane, Huntingdon Place, Windham Drive, Alberts Way, Bernick Drive, Cambridge Drive, Choate Court, David Drive, Exeter Court, Hanover Court, James Court, Waldon Road, Silverlake Road, and Swift Road.

The township is also planning to repair the subbase and repave the section of Township Line Road/Big Oak Road that runs from the West Trenton Line tracks to the I-295 bridge, Duffy said. He noted the section of road is deteriorating pretty badly.

Middletown and Lower Makefield previously teamed up to pave Township Line Road, but Duffy said the section being focused on this year lies entirely in Middletown.

The township also plans to repave the parking lot Firefighters Park off Poplar Street, add a walkway to the basketball courts at Firefighters Park, repave the entrance driveway to Harris Park off Harris Avenue, and the pave a parking area that can be used for township storage at the old Langhorne Spring Water Company property off Hulmeville Avenue.

The township will get a better idea of the cost of the projects once the bids come back. The Township Line Road repairs will hopefully be paid for with PennDOT liquid fuel tax funds, Duffy said.
