The Poland Township Board of Trustees, Bob Lidle, Eric Ungaro and Joanne Wollet, were joined by representatives of the various developments along Dobbins Road for a ground breaking ceremony on Oct. 22 for the Dobbins Road sidewalk project.
Joining the trustees were Melissa Gadjos of the Timberbrook development, Bill Gardner of the Canterbury development and Dwayne and Diana Wilson of the Tuscany development.
The project is approximately one half of a mile and will be constructed along the south side of Dobbins Road, from the eastern edge of the Poland High School parking lot to the entrance of the Tuscany Estates development.
The Dobbins Road sidewalk project will cost approximately $148,000, and the grant obtained for the construction will pay for 80 percent of that cost. The project is scheduled to be completed between the first and third week of November, depending upon the weather.
The trustees plan to continue to work on future infrastructure projects, such as additional road paving projects, as well as sidewalks. Lidle hopes to get funding for the rest of State Route 170, up to Harvest Run and along Clingan Road from Dobbins to the Swim Club.
All participants present agreed that the sidewalk is a great addition to the area, adding to the convenience of the area and making it feel more connected.
