Mr. Dale Vernon, Mr. and Mrs. Mark Leventry, Mrs. Erin Siverd, and Mr. Attilio Squillario all residents of Brendalyn subdivision. They had questions/concerns about the recent paving project and the wedges/depressed curbs that were put in. Mr. Vernon then later Mr. Leventry asked why the decision to do the curbs and not mill. Mr. Gdula explained that before paving he reviewed the subdivision area with the paving contractor and saw to make the transition to all the concrete driveways; they had few options. Some were lower, some were higher, and a few were okay. He asked contractor’s opinion and they recommended to do the wedge/depressed curb to make transition to concrete driveways so the stormwater would drain properly and not go into their driveways.  Mr. Richards commented that expense of milling was part of it. Mr. Gdula said other factor was the road had different levels of thickness in different parts of the road so if milling would have been done it would compromise the strength and integrity of the road.

Mr. Gdula said we are only contacted a week before as to when paving will be and our PENNDOT representative rode the project areas with him before project was put out to bid.
