Now that Brackenridge’s public works projects for this year are completed, borough officials are looking at next year’s wish list.

The borough hopes to get $25,000 from the federal Community Development Block Grant Fund to install handicapped sidewalk ramps at various intersections.

Brackenridge also is seeking $60,000 for demolishing abandoned buildings at 841 Eighth Ave., 1059 Cleveland Ave., 1038 Third Ave. and 1005 rear Brackenridge Ave.

Council also hopes to install a new furnace at the borough’s water plant. Officials favor bids from Air Pure and Schafer’s Carrier, but council wants a clarification on the warranties.

The Roup Avenue sewer replacement project is completed at $5,000 under the budgeted amount of $106,000.

Also, new paving was completed on Nelson and Willow streets by the public works department.

“They did a nice job on the paving we got money for from the COG (Council of Governments),” said council President Timothy Connelly. “Those couple of roads were in bad shape.”
