7th Street improvements complete; committee raises watering and grant questions
Summary
Members praised the new 7th Street stonework and agreed the Bridgewater Improvement Association can provide well access for newly planted trees; staff confirmed state grant funds for the project were expended by the June 30 deadline.
Committee members inspected the 7th Street improvements and praised the new stone wall and overall look. The Bridgewater Improvement Association offered access to a well at Little Park to irrigate newly planted trees on 7th Street; members requested staff follow up so plantings receive regular watering while establishing.
A committee member asked whether any residual funding remained for additional phases; the chair said state grant funds had to be used by June 30 and, as far as the committee knew, the money had been expended by that date. Members discussed potential future beautification — such as murals or student-art projects — but noted that the building on the block remains off-limits for reuse at this time.
