Those of you who have driven down Roosevelt Avenue recently have probably noticed that it's a LOT smoother than it has been.
Work to repave a portion of that street, from Pennsylvania Avenue to Philadelphia Street (extending onto Penn Street to King Street) has been going on for a few weeks.
The base course is finished, said Jim Gross, public works director, and crews are working to adjust the manholes. (Those are still popping up in the middle of the road, so you still have to watch.)
Gross said he hopes that PennDOT will be back in the next few weeks to finish the final paving.
Work on the other end of Roosevelt Avenue will continue into next year, Gross said.

My car and I were very excited about this. But then, we drove East on Route 30. (Groan.)
