The Editor's Notepod, Fri., July 24, 2009

Wallingford (Tracy): probably a zoning change that allowed for new uses would be better than the long-empty commercial structures there now, but that won’t necessarily please present residents. There’s a fairly narrow strip between the railroad and the river.

Southington: Big increase in building fees, and this might just not be the best and most business-friendly way to raise revenue.

Southington: Reassurances that the Greenway Commons project is still on track to proceed, which was, after all, the whole point of that bill for a special tax district which was carefully guided through the legislature.

Meriden: If there’s a drainage problem on Hickory Street, the city had better have a good look and see what’s the matter. We can’t have a mosquito-breeding facility in that place.

Cheshire: An index of road quality is an interesting way to proceed, and can offer a good deal over the usual “squeaky wheel needs most grease” method.
