Bids to add a lift to the exterior of the Bay Spring Community Center to make it ADA compliant to go to the Barrington Town Council on March 4.
Work on making the Bay Spring Community Center in West Barrington completely accessible to the handicapped could start in the spring. The work primarily involves installing a "lift" with an enclosure to an outside wall of the former fire station on Narragansett Avenue. The lift – similar to a small elevator but much less costly to install on an exterior wall -- will allow anyone to get to the second-floor, which was renovated and used as a performance venue before being shut down by the town manager as a violation of federal ADA guidelines. Barrington’s capital budget includes $80,000 to pay for the installation of the lift and other less expensive repairs to the interior stairs. “Both bids that came in were over budget,” said Town …
