Public Works Board Advances Street Plans and Names
The board of public works held a meeting last night and received reports on proposed discontinuance of Beech street and changes on Baldwin, Stone, and Grand streets. They recommended abandonment of Beech street changes, heard a petition to rename Stone street to Cassin avenue, and planned a public hearing. They voted to sell Liberty street bridge for 500 dollars, sent sewer and street change reports to aldermen, and referred projects on Ludlow street and storm water relief to the relevant departments. Additional actions included naming Seery place, repairs to Field street, and inquiries into Granite street and Bunker Hill road retaining walls. The engineer was asked to estimate water main extensions on Washington and Merry streets, and sidewalks on Woodlawn terrace were referred to the sidewalk committee. The meeting adjourned for two weeks.
