July Commission Meetings

Please check the Town of Suffield website for actual time and location (virtual, Zoom, etc.) of the following commission and committee meetings:

Coronavirus Update 6-17-2020

Wednesday, June 17, 2020 marks Phase 2 of the State of Connecticut Reopening. We share everybody’s relief and enthusiasm as we begin to get things up and running again.

Ready for a Thank-You Parade

This rather stiff old couple has been sitting in their buggy next to Mountain Road for several years, but recently they’ve been dressed up for a COVID-19 health worker appreciation parade.

Town Services Honor Local Health Workers

In another big parade, Suffield first responders assembled an impressive array of ambulances, fire engines, police cars and highway department trucks and drove slowly past Suffield by the River, then up the private connecting road and back past the full length of the Suffield House nursing home in a loud and bright demonstration of appreciation for the hazardous duties of the health care workers.

Remington Street Bridge Update

It seems like a slow process, but progress has been made. The shifted roadway (to broaden the curve) has been given its base coat of asphalt, and the old sewer pipe bridge and the pedestrian bridge are both gone.

Can You Silly Walk?

An interesting pair of signs were planted in mid-April next to the sidewalk at the end of Kent Avenue. They marked the boundaries of a twenty-yard stretch along the sidewalk where a pedestrian’s behavior must conform to a prescribed conduct.

Flash Parade Rules Planned

One of the many subjects reported in the lengthy minutes (22 pages) of the May 6 virtual meeting of the Board of Selectmen was the recent informal parades that have been held in honor or in recognition of individual residents.
