  • 30 Wedgewood Dr Torrington, - Torringford
    In April 2008 a soft blockage in the main line on Wedgewood Dr. caused sewage to back up into our finished basement. The City of Torrington admitted their fault immediately and paid a cleaning company to come in and clean up for one whole week. Almost two years later we are still waiting for the town to settle with us for something more than $8,000.00 dollars. Estimates we have retained in the last 2 years have ranged from $22,000.00-$71,000.00. These estimates are for restoring our 3 rooms in the basement to their previous condition and not even looking at our losses of furniture and possessions from contaminated water. At present the City of Torrington's insurance company is pressuring us to sign a release for $8,000.00 which we haven't and Mayor Bingham is trying to say he can't get involved because the city's insurance co. and our lawyer AGREED on a settlement. This is not possible as only the property owners(my husband and I) could have signed a release on this, and we haven't. Two years without my downstairs, still paying taxes, and no help from the town.
  • East Main St At Walmart - Torringford
    Poor lighting over the entrance to Walmart parking lot has caused many cars to accidentally enter through the exit from the east on Rt 202 at night. There has already been several accidents and even more close calls. This needs to be fixed before somebody really gets hurt.
  • 444 Torringford St - Torrington
    SINCE STOP AND SHOP AND TARGET SPEEDING IS PREVELANT, DISPITE NUMEROUS CALLS TO THE POLICE WE CANNOT GET ANY PRESENCE TO SLOW DOWN. THIS IS DANGEROUS TO OUR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES AND WHEN THE SPEED LIMIT IS 35 THERE IS NO NEED FOR 55 DURING THE DAY AND ATLEAST 65 AFTER DARK! OUR TAXES PAY THE COPS, LET THEM "PROTECT AND SERVE" AND KEEP OUR ROAD SAFE.

    It can be 3pm on a Sunday and this light is still activated. It holds up traffic for no reason. I personally believe it should be blinking yellow during off-hours so traffic can flow a little better through this area of town.
  • Rte 183 Or Torringford St Torrington, CT 06790, USA - Torringford
    People are speeding from Walmart to Winsted on rte 183 .... turning left onto Country Club Rd and other turns off of 183 makes it very serious as I have seen many close calls with rear end accidents ..... ugh!!! They don't slow down when turn signals are on because they are speeding. Maybe a blinking yellow light would help.

    1823 U.S. 202 Torrington, CT 06790, USA - Torringford
    This building has been sitting vacant for years. It looks run down, has holes in the roof, the lot is unsightly.
    This is in a heavy traffic area, and all traffic that passes is presented with this eye sore.
  • 549-1229 Newfield Rd Torrington, CT 06790, USA - Burrville
    Staterday and Sundy morning at 8:00 AM the peace and quite is broken by the flying of model airplanes. Some are so loud that they can be heard indoors with the TV turned on, and the windows and dorrs closed!
  • 551-699 Kennedy Dr Torrington, CT 06790, USA - Torringford
    We could really use left hand turn signals at this intersection. It can get very dangerous at times.
  • 232-402 Greenwoods Rd Torrington, CT 06790, USA - Torringford
    Coming up Greenwoods Rd just passed Nickersons the road is in bad shape. As you leave the stop sign the road gets worse near the crest of the hill the uphill lane is ladden with potholes. At the box culvert water regularly flowes out of the banks and goes over the road. Debris from several happenings is still evident . Further up Greenwoods near the split something has collapsed or there was a lack of compaction as the road dips and rises severely. The stormwater drains are sunken and barely work.
  • Coe Park - Torrington
    Once, JUST ONCE, I want to be able to take my children to this park without having to see the wretched raggies smoking, drinking, yelling obscenities and befriending other raggies there. It's such a shame because it is a nice park but these people have made it their spring/summer sharehold. Disgusting.
  • 500-564 Torringford W St Torrington, Connecticut - Torrington
    There is a dangerous blind spot due in part to the diagonal shape of this intersection. When passing a car waiting to turn left, you are unable to see any cars turning left from the opposing lane of traffic. The opposite is true of turning left: if another car in the opposing lane is waiting to turn left, your view of oncoming traffic I'm the right lane is obscured. This is a very sketchy intersection in high traffic, and it badly needs a left turn light.
  • 89 Culvert St. Torrington - Torrington
    We need a stop sign coming up Culvert at the intersection of Washington ave.Cannot see oncoming cars when pulling out from Washington ave.
