Woodstown council moves ahead with Bertha Avenue and Guernsey Place roadwork
Summary
Council introduced an ordinance to appropriate $150,000 for roadway work on Bertha Avenue and Guernsey Place and later authorized the contract for the project under Resolution 2026-35, after pulling the item from the consent agenda for discussion.
Woodstown Borough Council introduced an ordinance and authorized a contract on Feb. 24 to advance roadway improvements on Bertha Avenue and Guernsey Place.
The council introduced Ordinance 2026-3 by title, which would appropriate $150,000 from the borough’s Capital Improvement Fund to pay for the work. The motion to introduce the ordinance was made by Council member James Hackett and seconded by Councilwoman Heather Bobbitt; the introduction was approved by unanimous roll call vote.
Earlier on the agenda the contract authorization (Resolution 2026-35) had been placed on the consent agenda but was pulled by Hackett for discussion under Streets & Roads. After discussion the council voted to authorize the contract for the roadway improvements; the motion was made by Bertha Hyman and seconded by James Hackett and approved by unanimous roll call vote.
The minutes do not specify the contractor name, the detailed scope of work, or the project timeline. The council’s engineer, Erik Biermann, requested a final decision on the scope of work for a separate Borton Drive project by the March 24 meeting.
Next steps: Ordinance 2026-3 was introduced and will return for subsequent readings as required by borough procedure; the contract authorized under Resolution 2026-35 will proceed to implementation subject to contract execution and any required administrative steps.
