Building and Zoning Director Pat Ennis explained at Tuesday evening’s Board of Supervisor’s meeting that the township is looking to complete repaving work in the Georgetown neighborhood, the Fairways neighborhood, Golf Club Drive, several streets off Hulmeville Road in the Parkland section, Pleasant Avenue, Carter Avenue, Rising Sun Avenue, Wister Road, Tollgate Gate Road from Fulling Mill Road to the Core Creek Park entrance, and Beechwood Avenue.

If bids come in at a reasonable price, the township would also look to repave the parking lot at Twin Oaks Park, several basin retrofits to benefit water quality, striping on a number of roads, and striping and the addition of a shoulder on Snowball Drive.

The township expects the project to cost about $1.7 million, but they will have to review bids that come in, Ennis said.

Township Engineer Isaac Kessler said the municipality will also plan to upgrade handicap-accessible ramps for a number of neighborhoods set to be repaved.

In other business, the supervisors approved the purchase of three Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) for the Middletown Township Department of Fire and Emergency Management for $8,760 from a medical supply company.

Fire Marshal Jim McGuire said the AEDs will go on response trucks and will be compatible with the equipment used by the Penndel-Middletown Emergency Squad.
