Cranberry Previews $2.3M Paving Program, Adopts Regional Safety Plan, Settles Boundary Dispute with Jackson Township
The Board previewed $2.3 million in paving contracts, adopted the Southwest Butler Multi-Municipal Safety Action Plan, authorized an intergovernmental agreement with Jackson Township to resolve their shared boundary, applied for grants for Route 19 improvements, and awarded contracts for pickleball court resurfacing, fire station roofs, and Police Department renovations design.
Cranberry Township's Board of Supervisors tackled transportation safety, boundary disputes, and over $2.3 million in road maintenance at their March 26 agenda preparation meeting, setting the stage for formal votes at the April 2 regular session.
The meeting opened with a special recognition: Haine Middle School students, along with teacher Allison Stebbins and Tim Schutzman, delivered a stormwater education presentation to the board.
The most substantive policy action of the evening was the adoption of the Southwest Butler Multi-Municipal Comprehensive Safety Action Plan. Developed jointly by Cranberry Township, Jackson Township, and the Boroughs of Harmony and Zelienople using a federal Safe Streets for All grant, the plan outlines priority safety issues and strategies to reduce severe and fatal crashes in the region. Andy Waple from AECOM presented an overview of the project. The plan drew opposition during public comment from Connoquenessing Township resident Brendon Linton, who asked the board to reject it.
In a separate cooperative move, supervisors authorized an intergovernmental agreement with Jackson Township to resolve uncertainty over their shared municipal boundary. Neither township possesses its original charter, and conflicting information has accumulated over the years in property deeds, development plans, and tax maps. Both municipalities agreed to engage HRG (Herbert, Rowland & Grubic, Inc.) to prepare a Boundary Report, due no later than May 29, 2026.
The 2026 Paving Program dominated the infrastructure agenda. Three contracts were previewed for April 2 approval: $1,155,278 to Youngblood Paving for Superpave street resurfacing (including five alternates), $1,057,630 to Russell Standard for fiber reinforced chip seal with fog sealcoat, cape seal, and crack seal, and $125,625 to Pavement Technology for pavement rejuvenator application. The program uses multiple treatment methods selected by roadway condition and traffic volume.
Grant applications continued the Township's push to fund Route 19 corridor improvements. The board authorized a PennDOT Green Light-Go application for signal pole replacement and right-turn lane realignment at Route 19 and Dutilh Road, and a FY27 Congressionally Directed Spending application for Phase 3 of the Route 19 Waterline Replacement — over half a mile of water line from Rowan Road to Ernie Mashuda Drive.
Several facility and park projects moved forward. The Graham Park Pickleball Court resurfacing — crack filling, coatings, and line painting on 13 courts — will go to Seal Pro for $57,500. Roof replacements at the Haine Fire Station and Public Safety Training Center, damaged in a 2025 storm, were awarded to G & W Roofing at $64,000. The board also previewed design contracts for Community Park Phase 2 volleyball and basketball courts ($59,190 to HRG) and Police Department renovations (Designstream LLC), the final phase of Municipal Center upgrades.
Equipment purchases previewed for April include a 2026 CAT 285 Compact Track Loader ($115,990) and a CAT PC310 Planer ($32,400), both for Public Works. The Cranberry Highlands Golf Course will get $37,250 in new banquet room chairs, replacing originals from 2002.
The Cranberry Foundation's 2026 Project of the Year — an outdoor Fitness Court Studio at Graham Park, supported by a $30,000 National Fitness Campaign grant — received its contract award preview, while the Upper Coal Run Culvert Design was teed up for EADS Group to advance hydraulic modeling and cost estimating for drainage improvements.
Two Park Place subdivision amendments will go before the board in April: Amendment No. 78 (four units on Lot 8-30 along Nolan Circle) and Amendment No. 79 (three units on Lot 8-13 along Nolan Circle), both within Phase 8B.
