A street-paving program for a Carrboro back road passed its last major obstacle without opposition Tuesday night.
At a public hearing on a street improvement project for Lisa Drive, off Quail Roost Drive, no residents addressed the Board of Aldermen.
The town’s public works director, George Seiz, was set to present the town’s plans for the street to the aldermen, but they told him such a presentation would be unnecessary.
“We had all asked every question that it was possible … to ask,” said Mayor Mike Nelson.
The project is set for completion this summer.
Seiz said the paving will extend about 650 feet and tie in with another paving project on Quail Roost Drive, which the aldermen approved in December.
The cost for the paving alone for Lisa Drive is estimated at $63,000.
Seiz said the project also includes the installation of an 18-foot-wide strip of three-inch-thick pavement. The road will be bordered on the west by two feet of gutter, six inches of curb and a five-foot-wide sidewalk, designed to lessen the need for tree removal.
Property owners along the road instigated the project, and as a result, they will pay half the costs of paving.
