More than 30 names have been gathered by Bridgewater's Heritage Advisory Committee for streets inside Brookside Cemetery. The committee asked the public to submit road names to them in April for the upcoming project. The names were requested because the committee felt they would help provide direction to visitors, help locate headstones and improve emergency response times. Mayor David Walker says the matter will go back to staff.
The committee is looking at a cost of roughly $5,000 for posts and sign blades to be installed. Some of the street names received include Glory Bend, Brookside Way, Memory Loop, Edgewood Path, Sawmill Arch, Veterans Bend, Wondering Loop and Pondside Path.
