CORTLAND -- City council will spend about $311,000 for street resurfacing this year.
On Monday, lawmakers approved a resolution giving the clerk permission to advertise for bids for the work.
Service Director Don Wittman said the resurfacing will be done in late summer or early fall.
The streets scheduled for resurfacing are: Diamond Way from Fowler Street to Turquoise Drive; Cedar Drive from Fowler to the culvert; Russell, Willow and Woodview avenues from Russell to Cricket Lane; and Cricket, Old Oak Drive, Butternut Circle, Cherry Hill Lane, Hawthorne Trail, Sycamore Trail and North Colonial Drive from Old Oak to Old Oak.
Another project
Council also moved to a second reading legislation to hire MS Consultants Inc. of Youngstown for $22,500 to perform inspection on the Rosewae Avenue improvement project.
Wittman said the estimated $250,000 project calls for storm sewer, road and curb improvements along Rosewae from Fowler Street to Woodview Avenue.
The project that will begin in mid-May is designed to relieve basement flooding.
Also during the meeting, it was announced that scrap tires can be dropped off from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday at Willow Park.
Tires will also be picked up with the regular Monday trash pickup, so the tires should be put out to the curb Sunday night.
