Plainville Town Council

The railroad crossings at East St. and East Main St. have become very dangerous for motorcycles and can be very damaging on cars. The rail mats have raised several inches in some spots and the road is in even worse shape. Please fix before a car is heavily damaged or worse, a motorcyclist is killed.

I have had many problems with my apartment on 492 east st. mold,electrical outlets exposed, kitchen floors so marred,and unkempt, promises things would get fixed, and never did. I requested a Plainville Health Inspector to visit my apartment and check my ongoing mold problem,electrical, and more only to be treated rudely and basically accused , that I have caused these problems. Come to find out the Health Inspector and my Landlord are good friends. All I wanted and desired is to be given a unbiased report, that was not the case,the under handedness that goes on with some town offical's has been over looked for a long time. How many more tenants where given faulty, and inaccurate reports,because of the old buddy system, I believe that some kind of investigation should occur to make sure everything is on the up and up, and that hopefully some time soon a Inspector can come to a location with no preconceived ideas of the tenant, because the Inspector forewarned the landlord, This is just another abuse of power in this town. Because its all about who you know. and that's a shame.

How long have we had to endure the continued decay and all encompassing blight that is the old Chung property? How much longer will we have to sit back and watch our town officials do absolutely nothing about it. When it was sold at auction in March of 2011, we were told that
clean up of the property would begin over the upcoming summer. Now, as a second
summer is about to come to a close we
have seen absolutely no progress in seeing this blight come to an end. Yes there were legal delays and the economy remains sluggish. However, the new owners have responsibilities both legal and moral to take proper care of their property. I chuckled when I saw their big move was to put up a sign promising that a new retail center would be coming soon. I laughed even harder when I saw the sign become quickly overgrown by brush within a few weeks. Recently, somebody mowed away the obscuring brush covering the sign but left the disgusting mess behind the fence untouched. Isn't this the very least a safety issue. The buildings on the property have been abandoned for at least a dozen years. There are broken windows and the plywood put in place to "secure" the area is falling down. What if a child or group of teen agers were to get on the property and get hurt. Well, the finger pointing would certainly begin then. Even sadder is the lack of response from our local government and town officials. I always wondered why they seemed so afraid to confront this issue when Mr. Chung held the property. Yet they display the same intrepidation with the new owners. It is truly sad and it is becoming the symbol of our town.

Town of Bristol needs to put a STOP sign on the intersection of Camp St and Florence Ln and Quail Hollow Ln. When everybody comes up the hill from route 6 they speed like daemons, and a few accidents already happened within the past couple of years because of the speeding. When people are trying to come onto Camp St they have to be very careful, they cannot see the cars coming from route 6 and when they do it’s too late because they are speeding. Within 12 months two cars landed in someone’s yard because of a car crash caused by speeding. Please put a STOP sign fast before someone else gets killed.

Diagonal railroad tracks dangerous to cross for bicyclists.

Designs for paved safe crossings to the side are available and should be constructed before serious injury and potential law suits develop.
