October 20th Roads & Bridges meeting recordings posted

The Village has posted audio recordings from the October 20th meeting of the Roads & Bridges Committee.  Several items of note were discussed.

Construction to replace the Cuba Road Bridge will begin sometime this month.  There is no definitive start date for closure of the bridge, due to the number of utilities involved, and a two week advance posting of detour signs required by Lake County.  Nonetheless, sometime in the near future, the Cuba Road Bridge will be closed for use until at least May of next year.

The 2015 roads program has been completed with a total of 3.9 miles of Village roads resurfaced.  It was reported that due to savings on patching work this year, Rebecca Drive and Tricia Lane were also able to be resurfaced.  A total of $1,020,000 was spent in 2015.

Cuba Township will be plowing Village roadways again this year, and there will be an increase in the cost of salt due to “demand,” however it’s unclear what the demand will be considering the season hasn’t started yet.  Trustee Cecola will be looking into this further.

Residents living on roadways serviced by Cuba Township should be aware that if their mailboxes are damaged as a result of plowing, they should contact Village Hall.  Township workers will repair any damage, including replacing the box itself with a basic USPS approved brand.
