Winter Snow Removal Reminder
Please be considerate of your neighbors and do not move snow from your property onto the town roads. 
 
The town ordinance (Paragraph 166-1) states that: “No person shall throw or place or push or cause to be thrown or placed or pushed and leave any ice or snow on the traveled portion of any public highway within the Town of Barkhamsted from any private driveway or roadway entering onto any such public highway or from any land adjacent to any such public highway.” 
 
Violations of this ordinance can result in a fine of $100.
 
Skating Rink at Barkhamsted School

Thanks to volunteers led by Troy Mogielnicki and Rejean Labrie, there is a new skating rink behind Town Hall on the school playground.  As you can see from the pictures below, it's a great addition to the town's recreation opportunities.

The volunteers provided all the labor and materials and deserve our thanks for their support of the town and its children.

 
New Year's Update - Happy 2012

TOWN GARAGE UPDATE:
For those of you who have not been on Route 44 recently, the Highway Department has moved in to the new Town Garage.  All of the equipment is now stored in the building and the crew is able to use the break area.  We will not be able to occupy the front area, including the community meeting room, until the Regional Refuse District is able to drill a new drinking water well.  We hope that will take place in the next month or two and we will hold an open house once we are able to use the entire facility.

We have also re-opened the residents' sand and salt area next to the garage to allow Barkhamsted residents to obtain material for snow and ice storms.

Thanks to the foresight of the residents who approved the building, we have a facility that the town can be proud of and which presents a very positive image when you come into town on Route 44.

PLAYGROUND PROJECT UPDATE:
The second phase of the school playground improvement upgrade is now complete.  The first phase was installation of the new playscape last Spring and the other part of the project was to eliminate the drainage area in the southwest corner of the playground.  This "pond" filled with water every winter, creating a hazard to the school children and was not usable for any recreational activities.  As you can see in the picture, the area has been leveled and can now be used as part of the play area or to extend the playing fields.  In the Spring, grass will be planted and the area will be opened for use.
