Dover to begin paving Monday; Waterline projects starting later

DOVER (WJER) (June 9, 2023) – The first round of summer paving begins Monday.

Mayor Shane Gunnoe says the city had budgeted $650,000, a little less than last year’s record amount. He says that could go up later this summer depending on income tax collections.

This first round of paving is on the west side on and around West 13^th to West 16^th streets. The list of streets is below.

Gunnoe says for the second round he wants the city to pave the streets just west of downtown. He says he’s committed to paving West 3^rd and West 4^th streets from Tuscarawas Avenue to Commercial Parkway.

WATERLINE PROJECTS

Meanwhile, crews will begin extending new waterlines to two locations with the hopes of making those areas more attractive to developers.

Gunnoe says the first project, set to start at the end of the month, is on the north side extending to the proposed industrial park.

The other project, expected to start later this summer, will extend a waterline under the Tuscarawas River to state Route 39 between Dover and New Philadelphia.

“[We will] create loop there to ensure reliability for residents and sufficient water supply for additional growth in that area in the future.”

Gunnoe says the city paying for the waterline projects with federal funds from the American Recovery Act. The cost is just over $1 million.
