Original Post:

The Town of Brookfield’s plan to develop the four corners area of Brookfield is being held up by the Connecticut State Department of Transportation’s new requirements for span pole design, according to Board of Selectman meeting minutes.

The DOT wants the town to put up new metal poles that hold up the traffic lights at a cost of approximately $50,000. To comply with the new DOT standards, the Town of Brookfield must obtain right-of-way or easements. Town Attorney Fran Collins is obtaining appraisals for these issues.
