Recently, Brady’s Run Park had issues with water getting from its main source to all of the shelters in the area. Public Works Director Dan Colville spoke about the issues, as well as the repairs, at the Commissioners’ work session on Wednesday.

 

Colville also mentioned that he’d like to see any new water lines installed to be smaller in size; from 4 inches down to 2.

He also got into a somewhat lively discussion with the Commissioners over the road construction that needed done at Marion Township. The discussion arose when Commissioner Sandie Egley had mentioned that a for-profit organization was looking to install a dog park up at Brush Creek; and though Commissioner Tony Amadio agreed, he felt that the deteriorated roads near the park needed fixed. When Colville was asked about possible solutions, he said that any patching would fall apart just as quickly as it was built and that a tar-and-chip solution would be more suitable if time-consuming. Colville also mentioned that he would need to find out a cost estimate for these solutions first.

On a more positive note, Commissioner Amadio spoke highly of the possibilities for Beaver County Residents as the new Amazon building moving “next door” in Findlay Township (Allegheny County) was announced Tuesday:

 

The Commissioners’ next work session is scheduled for August 7 at 10:00 AM.
