Summary

A resident at Stratford's capital-ordinance hearing asked when work would begin on a $1.5 million Surf Avenue culvert and related stormwater projects; Chair Anthony Freight said the culvert is part of a large infrastructure project approved previously and will begin soon, though he could not recall the exact prior appropriation amount.

Ann Marie Ehrenhaus asked the council for specific start dates for a set of stormwater and infrastructure projects listed in the packet, naming a $1,500,000 Surf Avenue culvert, $1,000,000 in stormwater pump renovations and $1,800,000 for transfer-station upgrades.

"I see $1,500,000 for the Surf Avenue Culvert, $1,000,000 for stormwater pump renovations, and $1,800,000 for transfer station upgrades," Ehrenhaus said, asking when construction and renovations will break ground. Chair Anthony Freight said the Surf Avenue culvert is included in a "massive infrastructure project" approved at the previous council meeting and that work will commence "pretty soon" to address recurring flooding; he added he could not recall the specific dollar amount appropriated at that prior meeting.
