HAMILTON — The Hamilton Township Council has introduced an ordinance authorizing $8.1 million in capital improvements Tuesday that had been previously proposed by Mayor Kelly A. Yaede.
Among the improvements in the ordinance, introduced Tuesday evening, are repairs to township roads and providing and equipment for the police division, according to a press release issued by the administration prior to the April 15 Township Council meeting.
A separate ordinance, also introduced Tuesday night, would authorize $6.9 million in sewer utility improvements.
In her plan, the mayor is calling for the re-paving of 28 township roads, which will target portions of some of Hamilton’s most heavily-traveled roads, such as Whitehorse-Hamilton Square Road, Klockner Avenue, Mercer Street, Estates Boulevard, Groveville-Allentown Road and Paxson Avenue.
Other roads to be addressed are in the Lalor Tract, Broad Street Park, Decou, White City/Forrest Valley, Bromley, Greenwood Terrace, Whitehead Manor, Mercerville, Hamilton Square, Olden Terrace, University Heights, Whitehorse and Extonville neighborhoods.
Additionally, American with Disabilities Act accessible sidewalk ramps and needed stormwater drainage projects will also be funded through the plan, per the release.
As it relates to the township’s sewer system, the capital budget will fund plant upgrades, the rehabilitation of the Yardville-Groveville Pump Station and the repair of several sewer lines.
”The residents of our community desire and deserve these critically needed road and sewer system repairs,” Mayor Yaede said in the release.
Also covered by the capital budget is the replacement of police vehicles and replacement of the police radio system to address coverage issues.
In addition, critical recreational facility and equipment needs that will repair deteriorating public tennis courts at two township parks, make needed maintenance repairs at the township’s miniature golf course and replace needed township equipment and service vehicles, will also be funded through capital funding.
