Summary
Either way, two buildings are needed. Fire can't be temporarily housed during construction, so a likely sequence is a new Fire facility first, then renovating 55 Constitution. Police could move into leased offices in the meantime.

Impact analysis
Temporary leases and phased renovation over about five years could spread costs, but relocating Police, Fire, or DPW facilities with radio infrastructure is a major expense.
Residents west of Wallace could gain a public-safety presence, and all departments would get space adequate for their needs.
Taxpayers concerned about construction costs; some west Bedford residents may not get the presence they expect since call volume is concentrated east.
