BAY HEAD — Various road and sewer system improvements are coming to Bay Head.
At the council meeting on April 7, the mayor and council unanimously introduced two ordinances that would allow for road improvements on Twilight Road, Meadow Avenue and Egbert Street, along with various sewer system improvements.
The road improvements are expected to cost $420,000 and will include the curbing, milling, paving, drainage and site preparations.
This is part of an overall masterplan the borough of Bay Head does each year, according to Councilwoman Diane Cornell. This is where the borough gets aid from the state and county to repave and do minor improvements to various roads throughout Bay Head.
“This year, we decided to really plan ahead. We looked at all the roads in town and made a seven-year plan so we will be ahead of the game moving forward,” said Councilwoman Cornell. “Over the years, in the spring and fall, usually not in the summer, we will make some sort of improvements.”
Another ordinance detailed $50,000 for “sewer system improvements.” Councilwoman Cornell confirmed that this ordinance is to fund equipment needed for the Strickland Avenue pumping station along with various other repairs.
Copies of this ordinance can be picked up in borough hall. A public hearing will be held on Monday, May 5, at 7 p.m. in borough hall, 83 Bridge Ave.
