LIFE SAVER FOR NEW BRITAIN'S SOUTH ENDERS



It was an honor for me today to attend the grand opening ceremony for the Hart Street Extension, with Mayor Timothy Stewart officiating, joined by Aldermen Mark Bernacki, Alderman Louis Salvio, Mayor Pro-Tempore Suzannne Bielinksi, a representative from the Maguire Engineering Group, and Kenneth Malinowski, the grants administrator for the City of New Britain. and with several members of the public works department.

This project was a long time in the making due to the need to purchase the required properties to complete the connection of Hart Street with Glen Street, A one tenth of a mile distance.

Prior to this connection, an ambulance leaving a South Main Street address was required to travel all the way down South Main Street to the beginning of Arch Street by traveling the loop up Arch Street to Hart. Now with this new short cut, 2 to 3 minutes of life saving travel can be eliminated from these emergency trips to the hospital.

Thanks to the continued diligence of Mayor Stewart together with the City council members that this new life saving route exists beginning today.
