The Town of Bay Bulls is looking to develop a new entrance to the recreation grounds and has been granted $101,250 of Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) funding for the project.
During the October meeting, council awarded a contract in the amount of $29,325, plus HST, to WSP ENI Canada for engineering services for the design and development of an access road to the upper portion of recreation ground.
“This is basically a driveway entrance, is how I’m looking at it,” explained Town Manager Ashley Wakeham. “We’re calling it an access road, but it’s an entrance to the parking lot. This doesn’t need to be developed to municipal road specifications. This is going to be a gravel entrance to alleviate safety concerns that are happening down by the soccer and softball fields whenever we have 300-plus residents trying to get in and out of there.”
