Why is Beechwood Road the step-child?

Posted

I guess all the town’s [Bethel] funding went to widen and re-pave Naylor Road. It is almost double the width it was last summer, with new crushed stone/cement all the way up to the Homestead community.

I understand Naylor Road is also a town road, up to the Homestead community, as is Beechwood Road up to the fork. Our road is at best one single lane, and is the only access and exit for over 57 homes. It is in horrible condition and if we pull off to let another pass, we play with the odds of getting pulled out by a tow truck.

I wonder if someone walking on that part of the road can sue the town if we break an ankle falling into the abyss off the edge of the road or in a pot hole?

I guess all the town’s monies went to widen and semi-pave Naylor road, a road that accessed only about 20 homes. I wonder who has the pull on that road?

Beechwood seems to be the step-child of the Town of Bethel!
