New Kensington City Council recently held a special meeting to award a contract to replace broken and lifted sidewalks in the downtown district.
The Trib reports that the contract was awarded to Encompass Building Group through the state’s cooperative buying program. The contract was for just over $349,000.
The first phase of the project will improve the sidewalks on Fifth Avenue at Ninth and 10th streets, including bringing the intersections into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The second phase will see improvements at the Eighth and 11th street intersections. The second phase also includes repairs to, or replacement of, 30 to 40 misaligned or heaved segments of sidewalk on Fifth Avenue between Seventh and 11th streets.
