Now that winter has turned to spring, Scranton prepares plans to pave parts of 17 streets this summer throughout the city.<\/p>\n
The paving would encompass about 30 blocks of roads and alleys in various neighborhoods.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter a brutally cold winter, we are ready to begin our 2026 paving projects,\u201d Mayor Paige Gebhardt Cognetti said in a recent announcement. \u201cOur DPW workers will continue to address potholes, and we will hold utility companies accountable for other major road repairs through our improved pave cut process.\u201d<\/p>\n
In recent years, the city has implemented a new process for restoring pave cuts made in the asphalt of roads by utility companies for various reasons, including system upgrades or emergency work.<\/p>\n
The city is accepting bids until April 16 at 10 a.m. on paving the following streets:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Atlanta Avenue, from Greenbush to Reese streets.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Bristol Court, from East Market to Deacon streets.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Byron Lane, from North Keyser Avenue to the dead end above Horatio Avenue.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Clover Street, from West Market Street north to the dead end, and from Steele Street north to the dead end.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Crossin Court, from Swetland to Oram streets.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Donnelly Court, from Palm to Pear streets.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Fig Street, from South Webster to Crown avenues.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Gilbert Street, from Rockwell Avenue to Leach Street.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Hertz Court, from Hemlock to Orchard streets.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Joseph Avenue, from Ash Street northeast to the dead end.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Leach Street, from Gilbert Street northwest to the dead end.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Matthew Avenue, from Ash Street to and including the cul-de-sac.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Pear Street, from South Irving to Crown avenues.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Stipp Court, from Roselynn to East Gibson streets.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Watrous Avenue, from Ash Street north to the dead end.\n<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, additional paving projects this summer might include:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Hollow Avenue, from West Market Street to the Hollow Avenue bridge and beyond to the cul-de- sac.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Center Street, from Penn to Franklin avenues.<\/p>\n
Officials estimate the summer paving to cost $1.1 million, and it would be paid with state Liquid Fuels Funds allocated to the city and coming out of the city\u2019s general fund, city Business Administrator Eileen Cipriani said.<\/p>\n
The city also intends later this summer to start the bidding process for a paving project to take place during the fall, Cipriani said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Now that winter has turned to spring, Scranton prepares plans to pave parts of 17 streets this summer…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":158685,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[201,182,139,28,178,180,179,181],"class_list":["post-158684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-scranton","tag-lackawanna-county","tag-local-news","tag-news","tag-pennsylvania","tag-scranton","tag-scranton-headlines","tag-scranton-news","tag-top-stories-stt"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=158684"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/158684\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/158685"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=158684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=158684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=158684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
