DuBois to improve sidewalks on Park, Maple avenues

DuBois — The City of DuBois plans to construct
new sidewalks along both sides of Park Avenue and
Maple Avenue in 2019, according to city Manager
John “Herm” Suplizio. The work will extend to the
border with Sandy Township, he said. The city received
a $670,000 grant through the state Department of
Transportation’s Multimodal Transportation Fund, which
provides grants to encourage economic development.
“We’re excited,” Suplizio said. “We do know that a lot
of people walk that area, a lot of mothers and fathers with
their kids, baby strollers, things like that. The sidewalks
are in very bad shape, and we’re excited to do this
for our community, and we’re looking forward to getting
this project started.” Suplizio said many of the
trees are going to have to be cut down for the project
“because the trees lift up the sidewalk.”
The city just received the grant and expects the project
to get started next spring. “It will have to be bid out
and it’s not a job you want to do in January or February,”
Suplizio said.
