MONROE, CT — A public works crew paved a stretch of Wheeler Road Friday morning. A dump truck fed asphalt into a paver, laying a fresh layer over one lane as men raked behind it. First Selectman Terry Rooney observed all the activity.
“There were so many complaints about Wheeler Road. I had to get it done right away,” Rooney said. “Since I’ve been in office, I’ve pretty much driven every road in town, so I know what has to be done. I know of other roads that need work. I ask the citizens to be patient with us, because the weather hasn’t been cooperating.”
The rainy spring has also affected field maintenance. The first selectman said his office recently received a complaint about a lacrosse field that needs to be mowed.
“People have been out mowing in the rain to prepare fields for this weekend,” he said.
All respectful comments with the commenter’s first and last name are welcome.
PLEASE put Barn Hill Rd and Sunset Hill Drive on the list to repave. The repairs don’t work any more and they need to be repaved. My car can’t take much more of these two road
Thank You!
