The bumpy stretch of Berdan Avenue from Plaza Road east to Sunnyside Drive should be repaved by late spring or early summer, borough engineer Ken Garrison said Friday.
Fair Lawn authorized use of a $300,000 New Jersey Department of Transportation grant to be used expressly to perform the Berdan Avenue improvement at Tuesday's council meeting. The borough need not contribute any funding to the project, although the borough's grant writers, Capital Alternatives, will receive a 10 percent cut of the grant as payment.
The soon-to-be repaved stretch of Berdan had been excavated a number of years back to increase underground piping size as part of a storm sewer upgrade intended to alleviate flooding problems during heavy rain.
Following the excavation, the road was patched and left to settle while other roads around town were resurfaced. Now, Berdan Avenue is due for a complete resurfacing, borough manager Tom Metzler said.
The milling and paving process should last about four days, Garrison said.

How about repaving Plaza Road between Fair Lawn Ave and Berdan Ave, along the park? That curvy section is awful.

road improvements in that area should have been part of the landmark deal but once again our town gets nothing while other towns get things as part of the deal from builders. example your board of education says we have to add on to the schools due to more kids. we the tax payers pay while the builder takes his profits on our backs.
