The Brookhaven City Council met on March 26 to approve contracts for road and sidewalk improvements.
First, council members approved an ordinance to amend the 2024 General Fund and Capita Improvement Fund budgets to spend $50,000 on sidewalk infill projects.
Next, the council approved three contracts related to street paving: a three-year agreement for $20.4 million with C.W. Matthews to pave the roads; a three-year agreement for $120,000 with Geo-Hydro Engineers for construction inspection and material testing services; and a three-year project management contract for $630,500 with Lowe Engineers.
In an update on the city’s stormwater projects, city staff said heavy rain has prevented work from being completed. An emergency project on Stratfield Drive will begin next week, and Ashford Trail project will soon be complete.
In other news, the Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival and 5k drew a record number of participants. About 58,000 people attended the weekend of music. The 5k attracted 600 runners and raised $18,000, nearly $6,000 more than 2023.
