Witless Bay council has approved the installation of a number of speed humps throughout the community, as well as a number of other road maintenance contracts, a sure sign that spring is on its way.
Two speed humps will be installed near the recreation grounds along Southside Track, one on either side of the grounds, and two will be installed near Alderwood Estates Retirement Centre on Harbour Road, one on either side.
Council approved the new speed humps unanimously.
During the same meeting, council also awarded the traffic line painting contract to lowest bidder Three-In-One Contracting Inc., at a cost of $1,850, plus HST, and the road sweeping contract to lowest bidder Clean Sweep Property Maintenance Ltd., at a cost of $1,200 plus HST.
Both votes were unanimous.
