The Editor's Notepod, Wed., Jan. 11, 2012

Meriden residents now have cause to appreciate traffic lights, since a collision ended the useful life of the one at Center and Pratt Streets. Stop signs have their places, and we hope drivers will remember theirs until a new light, for over $150,000, can be erected.

It’s no surprise that after that 2006 referendum undoing the Wallingford Council’s decision about Wooding-Caplan that today’s Council is wary of proceeding. It’s only been 19 years, after all, so there’s no sense hurrying into anything precipitate.

Meriden’s school board finance committee is starting high with hopes for a 4.78 percent increase next year. This is sure to be modified before it becomes a budget.

Members of CT Finest Riderz who constructed a ramp for a little Meriden girl who needed one for her wheel chair access to her home’s front door. Such acts of kindness help more than anyone can imagine.

We hope the problems over a culvert which needs to be built for Spoon Shop Brook on East Main Street in Meriden at a business there can be resolved. No doubt the economy has played a role in delays, but there has to be a way to resolve the issue.
