Town of Plainville, CT reposted this
It is a busy (and chilly) day on Whiting Street in the Town of Plainville, CT. Griffin Brothers Excavation is installing new service lines for Aquarion Water Company's new water main while Colossale Siteworks is installing our new 24-inch HDPP drainage pipe. Once the proposed drainage work is complete, Whiting Street will be repaved, giving it a much-needed facelift. When both contractors were first digging for their respective pipes, they were surprised to hit about 8-inches of concrete in the middle of the road. Although cumbersome to hammer out, that layer of concrete turned out to be 100 years old, serving as the base for the trolley system once operated by the Connecticut Company. The trolley tracks ran the entire length of Whiting Street, from downtown Plainville to Route 10 and continued down through Southington, and ultimately, New Haven. You can find more information and a great map of the Connecticut Company Trolley System on The Shore Line Trolley Museum's website: https://lnkd.in/egPzpVgq Another surprise: underneath the concrete was a layer of cobblestones, some 12+ inches in diameter. I have no idea where the stones originated from, but seeing what Whiting Street looked like almost a century ago would have been fascinating to say the least. You never know what sort of history you'll find when you start digging.

Love to see Mayor Jeffrey Caggiano and Governor Ned Lamont taking on the Trail Wars Challenge! The new Wally Barnes trail looks stunning. To those nearby, please go visit this handicap accessible trail in Bristol!
@CarolineSimmons - Mayor of Stamford your up next. CT is the # 1 state for hiking trails b/c there are so many right in our backyards. Thanks Michael T Paulhus for starting the trail wars, but the totally handicap accessible Wally Barnes trail connected to Pigeon Hill can’t be matched anywhere in the state! Anthony M. Anthony Ned Lamont - Keep it going!
