Street work in Norwood planned in two phases

NORWOOD — City officials have announced a street repair program that will spend $500,000 to $1 million.
“This reflects an ongoing commitment to our citizens to do quality street repair work each year with monies set aside at the beginning of the budget process to address a critical need of our community,” Mayor Joe Hochbein said.
Until the program was launched four years ago, city budgets limited street repair and many streets were in poor condition.
City Councilman Charles Marshall, chairman of the streets, infrastructure and public works committee, called the effort “one of the largest street repair programs in Norwood history.”
Several projects have been targeted for specific improvements this year and a few have been placed in a “phase II” to be completed if money is available. That will depend on costs and contractors' bids, the mayor said.
Scheduled for improvements are Cathedral Avenue, the intersection of Williams Avenue and Smith Road, Fenwick Avenue from Montgomery Road to Quatman Avenue, Hudson Avenue from Montgomery Road to Regent Avenue, Wayland Avenue from Montgomery Road to Regent Avenue, and Section Avenue street and bridge rehabilitation.
In phase II are Hudson Avenue from Regent Avenue to Floral Avenue, Robertson Avenue from Linden Avenue to Beech Avenue, and Beech Avenue from Robertson Avenue to Duck Creek Road.
