Now that pothole season is on its way out (at least we hope), Cranberry is preparing for its 2013 paving program.
This year, the township will pave 8.43 miles of road at a cost of $1,238,000. The goal is to resurface all roads with a "C" grade, according to the township.
A "C" grade means the road has potholes, frequent patches and the rideability is below average, according to public works director Jason Dailey. Base issues also are evident on the street.
The cost to pave a one mile of road is about $98,903, a 4.6 percent increase over last year's cost of $94,520.
Cranberry is responsible for township roads. PennDOT is in charge of maintenance for state roads, including Route 228, Route 19 and Freedom Road.
Without further ado, here is this year's list.
- Bayberry Lane: From Glen Eden Road to St. Phillips Court
- Burke Road: from Peters Road to Lakevue Drive
- Chaparral Drive: From Farmington Road to Huntington Drive
- Commonwealth Drive: From Pennwood Place to the township line
- Dolores Circle: from McDonald Drive to the dead end
- Ehrman Road: From I-79 to Old Ehrman Road
- Ellen Drive: From Bayberry Lane to the dead end
- Graham School Road: From Rochester Road to Unionville Road
- Hillcrest Drive: From Glen Eden Road to Glenbrook Drive
- LaPorte Drive: From LaPorte Courte to Rolling Road
- Mars Road: From McElroy Road to Franklin Road

- Meadowbook Drive: from Glenbrook Drive to the cul-de-sac
- Old Freedom Road: From Connector Street to Route 19

Any civil engineers in this forum want to explain what "c" grade paving is? Not sure if they're referring to the performance grade (PG) of the binder, or what. Township website does not explain this comment. A search of DOT web sites and "principles of paving" documents online was conducted - no joy. I'd be grateful for a reference, assuming the township official wasn't spewing BS pseudo-techno-jargon.

Giacomo, here's an explanation of the grading from Cranberry Township's public works director.
A-Road is newly paved, no cracks, starting to fade to a dark gray.
B-Road is grayish, sporadic or periodic / patterned cracking. Spider web like cracking patterns, still has good rideability.
C-Road has potholes, frequent patches, rideability below average. Base issues are evident.
D- Very poor rideability. Patchwork is more prevalent. Base repair is required and is a total loss.

Are they planning on fixing the grading they did on Powell for the winter?
