Mamaroneck to Install Honorary Street Signs for 9/11 Firefighters
BY STEPHEN E. LIPKEN
Mamaroneck Town Supervisor Jaine Elkind Eney convened the August 19 Board meeting, beginning with a request by Fire Chief Alex Rapp and Firefighter Alan Wilson for installation of honorary street signs at intersections of Weaver Street and Edgewood Avenue, and Weaver Street and Hillcrest Avenue, in memory of Dennis Tortorella and Brian Payne who succumbed to illnesses related to their service at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. They represent the only two line-of-duty deaths in the 122-year history of the Fire Department. The honorary signs will be placed beneath the existing street signs. This measure was approved.
Next, Eney swore in two new firefighters, Kristopher Leech and Christopher Oppedisano.
With school opening on September 2, Supervisor Eney cautioned motorists to drive carefully, keeping a sharp lookout for pupils on their way to school and abiding by all School Zone Speed Limits.
Eney went on to say that ConEdison and its contractor Posillico Civil have been conducting a multi-phase gas main installation improvement project along Weaver Street in Mamaroneck six days a week, working through August 28. The project will be extended if it is not completed by then.
Supervisor Eney added that the Town is conducting a website survey regarding the town logo, whether it truly represents the Town. The survey will be extended through September 4.
Then the Town Board awarded Bid TA-26-11, Reconstruction of Municipal Sidewalks and Curbing to Peter J. Landi, Inc. for total contract amount of $219,073. The project scope consists of sidewalk and curbing replacement along Edgewood Avenue and new sidewalk installation on Bryson Street connecting North Chatsworth Avenue to Murray Avenue. A new sidewalk and replacement of catch basin structures on Bryson Street are also included.
