Yorktown To Begin Repaving Project

YORKTOWN, NY — Road repair is slated to begin in the town of Yorktown later this month.

The Yorktown Town Board approved an additional $1 million in street paving to fix some of the worst streets that were identified in a recent survey.

The road-conditions survey found that Summit and Central streets received at eight out of 10 — with 10 being the worst — and Chesterfield Drive received a six. The repaving campaign will include those three streets, town officials said.

Highway Superintendent Dave Paganelli said, when the roads survey was released, that he would start with the worst.

"Now we're putting money behind our pledge to deliver smooth and attractive streets," he said.

Some of the deteriorated roads that have been targeted have not been paved in nearly 20 years.

Supervisor Matt Slater said the town has invested more than $5 million in road infrastructure improvements.

"The roads inventory helped us understand road conditions throughout the Town so that we could make smart investments to our areas of greatest concern, which this additional $1 million will fund," he said.

The additional million comes on top of the $1,150,000 town officials allocated earlier in 2021 to repave roads. It will be paid from the town's fund balance and will not incur new property taxes or debt.

Yorktown's highway department is responsible for maintaining more than 400 miles of local roads which are not taken care of by the county or the state.
