CTC committee questioned by former member

I thank the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation for choosing West Wyoming for two new bridges, one built on Shoemaker Avenue and the other on the border between the borough and Kingston Township.Also, I thank the engineers and the architectural and mechanical designers from PennDOT for two well-designed bridges.I also thank all of the utility contractors for not disrupting any of the services, including gas, electric, phone, cable and sewer, before the bridges were demolish. They were moving lines around for the two new bridges before construction.I thank James Marzolino, of Kriger Construction, for a job well-done. The Shoemaker Avenue bridge was completed before the target date. If you look closely at the concrete work, there are no hairline cracks in the deck of the bridge, sidewalks, curbs and retaining walls.I thank Larry Plesh, Luzerne County engineer, for loaning different signs for our borough streets during construction.I thank PennEastern Engineers and Mike Amato for informing council and residents at council meetings about the progress of both bridges during construction, Bob Hivish, project manager from Kriger Construction, and Walt, project manager from PennDOT, for keeping me well-informed from day one to finish. They kept me informed so I could answer any questions from the residents or my council colleagues about the project.Finally, I thank the residents of West Wyoming for their patience during construction of the two new bridges. Also, thanks to anyone I might have missed who was involved in this project.Daniel GrescavageCouncilmanWest Wyoming Borough
