Canfield trustees OK resolution to resurface roads

CANFIELD — Trustees approved a resolution to begin the resurfacing of some township roads.

In March, Trustee Chairman Brian Governor and Keith Rogers, zoning inspector and township administrator, compiled a list of roads for the resurfacing program. After two months of discussion and research, trustees reorganized the list by neighborhoods, grouping them together – the method trustees agreed was most cost-effective.

The $178,000 project will cover costs to pave Aladdin Street, Bay Hill Drive, Fountain Valley Court, Muirfield Drive and Steeplechase Run.

The project also includes laying a skim coat – a 1-inch leveler course of pavement to fill in road imperfections – over the first 1,500 feet of Gibson Road, to make the road drivable.

Gibson is a pothole-ridden road the township took over from Mahoning County more than 10 years ago. Trustees said this is only a short-term fix. They plan to continue fixing the road when the budget allows it.
