Bellefonte discusses lamppost refurbishing, solar battery project and DelDOT road concerns
Summary
Town officials discussed plans to refurbish lampposts using unspent capital funds, ongoing work with Wise Solar on an EECBG battery-and-solar project, and DelDOT sidewalk/repaving and speed-sign projects; Scott MacKenzie will obtain estimates and follow up with Representative Heffernan on road-safety concerns.
Bellefonte officials reviewed several town property and infrastructure items at the April 13 meeting, including lamppost refurbishing, a federal EECBG-backed battery backup and solar panels project, and DelDOT roadway and sidewalk projects.
Lampposts: Councilmembers discussed replacing brackets and tapping unspent capital expense funds to refurbish selected lampposts. Scott MacKenzie said he will obtain estimates to determine costs and scope.
Energy project: The town reported being in regular contact with Wise Solar to move forward with the EECBG battery backup system and solar panels project. Minutes record ongoing coordination but do not provide a project timeline or budget details.
DelDOT projects and road safety: The council noted planned DelDOT sidewalk and repaving work and shop owners' concerns about speeding on Brandywine Boulevard. Scott said he will follow up with Representative Heffernan about traffic-calming or speed signage options.
Next steps: Scott is to gather cost estimates for lamppost work and to liaise with the state representative on DelDOT matters; the minutes do not list firm deadlines or funding amounts for the energy project.
