News release from Mayor’s Office:
City officials announced today that the Department of Public Facilities will begin milling and road paving throughout the City of Bridgeport on Wednesday, July 14, 2021 in the South End and will work their way through various neighborhoods, finishing in the North End in the month of September.
Note, “milling” is the process of grinding and removing the current top layer of pavement. Drivers are advised to use caution during the milling process.
During this time, drivers are advised of the following:
— Adhere to “No Parking” signs. All areas will be enforced 24 hours ahead of paving, cars will be towed if interruption to paving occurs.
— Follow any “Detour” signs. You may need additional time to reach your destination so please plan accordingly.
— Drive carefully! Be mindful of raised structures, manhole covers, and rough edges or bumps at paving limits.

Must be time for Municipal Primary and elections…let’s pave roads early this fall and interrupt the back to school buses (school kids don’t vote). We could pave in the summer without disrupting both buses and those walking to and from school, but the closer to the election the greater the impact on voters.
Maybe there will be some perceived value in the increased city tax bills that are going out.
The taxpayers think that it’s a good deal. Of course they been so drained they don’t realize that it’s their money paying for it!
So why can’t we get more paving done???
Because elections are not performed daily, weekly, or monthly. For those who care to vote it’s a good reminder that the season is approaching. Lol.
Cheers!
