Doors are how our homes say “Welcome”
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The Town Hall Renovation project has been waiting for the bids from subcontractors so selections can be made for the ones to work under builder Gilbane.
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.
