Who knew that replacing a traffic light at an intersection where one has been familiar for decades could be so complicated? Yet check out the issues at Pratt and Center Streets in Meriden, where, after a vehicle hit its pole, the sagging equipment was removed and it will take a good nine months to go through approvals, funding, bids and construction to get a new one in place.
The latest talk about downtown development in Meriden includes a good deal of housing to make the city a point of origin rather than a destination. That’s all well and good, but we’d guess that inordinately high buildings might take some selling, since not too many will want such a structure to stand out as does the Middlesex Mutual building in downtown Middletown.
Southington schools are taking on bullying, a persistent issue with children (and adults) everywhere. We hope that serious focus on this behavior will help remediate it.
It was running weather “like Florida” for the Bernard Jurale Memorial Tradition Run Sunday morning in Hubbard Park, Meriden. Good exercise, too, if you’re hardy enough to attempt the uphill endeavor and in good health.
It is sad to read of the financial cares of the group which built the replica of the Amistad, Amistad America. Its vessel, in need of some minor but expensive repairs, is stranded at Mystic and trying to figure out how to find the necessary cash.
