The Good of Wilton
...
There
have been some very fine improvements made in
Wilton
-
the school
.
the town hall and the improve
-
ments covering the grading, drainage and surfacing
of the back or less frequented highways
-
all very
commendable, with the school and the town hall a
credit to the town, the architects and the builders
.
Ho wever, as an all
-
year
-
round commuter for the
past 13 years who has used, twice daily, the bridge
that crosses the river at the station
.
-
This Darling
Little Antique
-
defies improvement
.
The narrow
-
ness of this bridge is a serious menace to life and
limb of a motorist and particularly so to a pedes
-
trian With the increased motor traffic that has come
upon Wilton Station in the last five years, some
-
thing should and must be done about this bridge
.
Too bad this isn't a covered bridge, or it might then
be sold to Henry Ford for his New England Village
.
and the proceeds used to replace the existing men
-
ace with something equal to the present demands
required of it
.
Dolling up the Village Center seems to be in
order
.
.
why cannot one or two street lights he in
-
stalled on the short piece of roadway between the
station and the Center
.
It is quite an experience,
corning from the trains
.
during the dark Winter
evenings with several inches, of slush
.
t
.
walk this
roadway and not he able to See where you are tie,
ping
.
This roadway is much too nairow, and, with
motor cars coming at you horn front and behind
.
one is sprayed with water and slush as they pass
.
Some consideration by the town should be given
these minor, but very essential and necessary im
-
provements
.
Yours very truly
