Torring PD

In April 2008 a soft blockage in the main line on Wedgewood Dr. caused sewage to back up into our finished basement. The City of Torrington admitted their fault immediately and paid a cleaning company to come in and clean up for one whole week. Almost two years later we are still waiting for the town to settle with us for something more than $8,000.00 dollars. Estimates we have retained in the last 2 years have ranged from $22,000.00-$71,000.00. These estimates are for restoring our 3 rooms in the basement to their previous condition and not even looking at our losses of furniture and possessions from contaminated water. At present the City of Torrington's insurance company is pressuring us to sign a release for $8,000.00 which we haven't and Mayor Bingham is trying to say he can't get involved because the city's insurance co. and our lawyer AGREED on a settlement. This is not possible as only the property owners(my husband and I) could have signed a release on this, and we haven't. Two years without my downstairs, still paying taxes, and no help from the town.

Weed Road has heaves and bumps and gullys that make driving very difficult, if not dangerous in some areas.
The road has never been this bad- walking is even difficult as cars are trying to dodge holes.
I don't know how the street department is able to plow snow

Poor lighting over the entrance to Walmart parking lot has caused many cars to accidentally enter through the exit from the east on Rt 202 at night. There has already been several accidents and even more close calls. This needs to be fixed before somebody really gets hurt.

It can be 3pm on a Sunday and this light is still activated. It holds up traffic for no reason. I personally believe it should be blinking yellow during off-hours so traffic can flow a little better through this area of town.

This building has been sitting vacant for years. It looks run down, has holes in the roof, the lot is unsightly.
This is in a heavy traffic area, and all traffic that passes is presented with this eye sore.

We could really use left hand turn signals at this intersection. It can get very dangerous at times.

Staterday and Sundy morning at 8:00 AM the peace and quite is broken by the flying of model airplanes. Some are so loud that they can be heard indoors with the TV turned on, and the windows and dorrs closed!

Coming up Greenwoods Rd just passed Nickersons the road is in bad shape. As you leave the stop sign the road gets worse near the crest of the hill the uphill lane is ladden with potholes. At the box culvert water regularly flowes out of the banks and goes over the road. Debris from several happenings is still evident . Further up Greenwoods near the split something has collapsed or there was a lack of compaction as the road dips and rises severely. The stormwater drains are sunken and barely work.
