Project Underway
The Town of Putnam started on the Port-A-John screening project at Rotary Park last week. Prep work and forms are complete for a concrete pad to be poured concrete. A section of sidewalk adjacent to the pad and parking lot will be redone. The 8-foot black metal fence posts are installed. An 8-foot black chain link fence and a privacy screen will run around three sides of the concrete pad. The Port-A-John doors will open toward the river. The cost of the project, about $5,000, is split between the Putnam Connecticut Rotary Club and the Town of Putnam. Parks and Recreation director Willie Bouquet said he’s shooting for a Memorial Day finish date. Linda Lemmon photo.
