Bedford City Council approved the minutes from the February 2 work session and regular meeting, then reviewed several planning, infrastructure, public safety, and city service items.

Council accepted a Planning Commission decision denying a zoning permit for an assisted living facility at 194 Columbus Road after the applicant failed to appear at the Planning Commission meeting. Council also approved a zoning permit for a roof-mounted solar photovoltaic system at 708 Hight Street.

Several ordinances moved forward, including updates to the city’s codified ordinances, a contract with Axon Enterprise for police body cameras, dash cameras, Tasers, and related equipment, and a contract with Senior Transportation Connection for transportation services for Bedford seniors.

Council also discussed traffic and infrastructure projects, including upgraded downtown crosswalk signage through a NOPEC-funded project, the upcoming Union Street Bridge closure, traffic signal work near Broadway Avenue, and planned gas line replacement work by Enbridge.

Another major item was the Greencroft infrastructure project, involving waterline replacement and resurfacing work. City officials noted the project is expected to move forward in 2026.

Reports included updates on the Bedford Master Plan meeting, Parks and Recreation programming, property tax concerns, Baye Market court updates, speeding complaints, stormwater and sewer concerns, board and commission vacancies, and local community events.
