Program.
"With over 1200 miles of
Town roadways, an ongoing
program of maintenance
and renovation is impera-tive,"
Supervisor Gulotta
said. "Many of our area
roads were originally buih in
the 1950's and are in need of
r e s u r f a c i n g and other
improvements. The Town's
Highway Capital Construc-tion
Program will allow us
to remedy deteriorating
roadways and drainage sys-tems
throughout our Town-ship
on a timely basis."
The specific areas slated
for improvements in Bay
Park are:
* N ew b u l k h e a d i ng
repairs and road resurfacing

pieces of fire equipment.
Mayor Geier stated that
Engine Co. has gained pos-session
of an old piece of
equipment, a 1953 fire truck
that had been sold to a col-lector
and that they now
have a 1923 truck, a 1953
truck and their newest 1985
truck to show in the 75th

drainage work on Marjorie
Lane.
Work is scheduled to
begin shortly and should be
completed by the Fall of this
year.
"Throughout the course
of construction efforts will
be undertaken to minimize
the disruptions caused area
residents and motorists. I
w o u l d urge e f f e c t ed
homeowners to remember
that any inconveniences will
be temporary but the result-ing
benefits and appearance
of the improvements will
more than offset any tem-porary
inconveniences,-

infrastructure and system of
drainage will enable Town
government to modernize
and improve its services to
