Council outlines paving RFP, speed tables and playground upgrades; lawn service expanded for $175
Summary
Council reviewed a paving RFP (publication April 8; proposals due May 15), discussed traffic-calming measures including three speed tables on Shepherd Street, and agreed to add playground care to the lawn-service contract for an extra $175.
Staff told the Bethlehem City Council that a paving RFP will be published with a newspaper notice on April 8 and proposals due by May 15; staff said the town expects additional grant funds to supplement the work.
Council members discussed traffic-calming options for Shepherd and Star streets, including three proposed speed tables and new crosswalks to the pavilion. Members raised concerns about impacts to emergency vehicles and the number and placement of speed tables; staff said the work also includes sidewalk and striping improvements and parking-lot paving for the playground area.
The council agreed to add playground maintenance to the lawn-service contract for an additional $175. Members acknowledged the expense as minor and asked staff to update signage and follow product-application guidelines where herbicides are used.
No formal ordinance or contract award occurred at the meeting; the paving RFP timeline and playground upgrades will proceed through standard procurement and staff implementation steps.
