Comer expects 25 to 30 more votes to pass.

Route 6 West of Corry Re Surfacing Underway
Route 6 west of Corry is being resurfaced at a cost of 160000, extending six miles west and along East Columbus to the city line. Only the segment inside the city limits from North Center Street to the west line is omitted this year to allow the Rolle bypass. Work by Charles Fry Construction should finish in a month with traffic one way most of the time and barricades already in place. A parallel repaving from Watertown west to Union Oley was completed last summer, improving the corridor between the two communities.
