The so-called traffic calming area at the intersection of East Washington and Mechanic streets will soon be a thing of the past.
Bradford City Council on Tuesday awarded the contract for the removal of the area to Bob Cummins Construction.
Cummins submitted the only bid, which was $15,120.
Also Tuesday council approved certificates of appropriateness to several downtown property owners.
Dr. Andrew Young will have a sign installed at 119 Main Street that reads “Bradford Chiropractic Center.” The property is owned by Tut Holdings LLC.
Don Britton, owner of 15 Barbour Street, will have new windows installed on the third floor. They will be resized and trimmed in tan. Brown vinyl cedar siding will be installed around openings.
Jeff and Rainey Coles, owners of 80 Boylston Street, will have 14 windows and all doors replaced. They will all remain the same size. Cedar shake siding on the building will also be repaired.
Pinciaro Inc. will replace and resize the windows on the second floor of 14 Mechanic Street.
Melissa Smith, owner of 29 South Avenue, will have a new sign installed that reads “Bridal Boutique & Tuxedo and Prom Exclusives.” It will include the phone number, address and website for the business.
The Historical Architectural Review Board has approved all the certificates.
Council also renewed leases with Orris Jewelers and The Guidance Center for 62 Main Street.
In other matters, council approved a three-month extension to E & M Engineers to complete preliminary engineering for the School Street Elementary Safe Routes to School project.
The engineering was originally supposed to be completed by July 12, but at that time council authorized a three-month extension. E & M asked for another extension to accommodate its sub-consultant.
The new completion date for the project is January 12.
Also Tuesday, Hobson Place resident Jim Belardia asked if the city’s 2012 budget will be available online.
City Clerk John Peterson said he’s not sure if it’s feasible to put it on the city's website but he will check into it. It will be on display in City Hall for 30 days after it’s presented.
“I think it should be online,” said Mayor Tom Riel.
