Milford Looks To Address Ongoing 'Safety' Issue

MILFORD, CT — The city of Milford is looking to undertake a road widening project in an effort to address ongoing safety concerns.

The city of Milford is seeking approval from the Inland Wetlands Commission to widen a portion of Flax Mill Lane. The city is proposing to pipe 170 linear feet of Flax Mill Brook. Wetlands are on the property.

Plans call for two trees and a pole to be removed. Portions of the road are breaking up and it is an unsafe shoulder, officials said. If approved, the project would occur in the fall.

Public Works Director Chris Saley said there have been "quite a few safety issue complaints in the area." A commissioner noted that two cars cannot pass at the same time at this location.

The application remains pending before the commission.
