The Editor's Notepod, Tues., Jan 27, 2009

Southington: Good news that the next stage of the Canal linear trail is second to top of the list of Central CT regional Planning Agency. Hope some of the other pending extensions do as well.

Wallingford: a 4.3 percent increase is characterized as “barebones.” Here’s another part of that interesting debate raised earlier over the need vs prudent issue on school budgets.

Meriden: if the Jack Barry Little League is considering a move away from that Britannia Street complex where the flooding has made such a problem, the city should rethink its plan to remediate that flooding. If the league is going to leave, is the drainage a problem? Can it be left to return to swamp?

Meriden: Good news that the postal service and its union employees seem to have worked out the kinks of the route shifts.

Meriden: Gorge linear trail will have solar-powered signs. Never heard of that before. I hope not only that they work but that they slow down the vandals as well as the traffic.

Wallingford: litter ordinance. Opinions vary. There’s no reason any responsible shop owner wouldn’t keep the area in front cleaned up . . . but if someone doesn’t, there’s a way to encourage compliance. Like the snow clearance law.

Cheshire:
Owners wanting town to accept private roads, which would presumably mean obtaining help in rebuilding the said roads. That’s expensive. Like accepting the dams on “common property” which means really that no one is responsible.
