What Would You Build in Branford?

Branford, CT - Earlier this week, Branford Patch asked our Facebook readers what they would build or fix in town if they were given $1 million.

Readers from across the area responded with answers varying from new playgrounds, renovated high schools and improved hospitals.

Also early this week, U.S. News and World Report released its list of the Top 10 Children’s Hospitals Across the Country. The hospitals were ranked in terms of “clinical outcomes,” “efficient coordination of care,” and “care-related resources.”

The publication periodically releases lists regarding the best schools in the country as well as most livable cities. Many of the things that make a town or city ‘livable’ are resources and public spaces i.e. good schools, roads, parks, libraries, etc. Not surprisingly, these were many of the things readers said they would build or fix in their town if granted $1 million to do so.

Here’s what your neighbors said they would build in Branford:

• "An effective Sewage Treatment plant that doesn't discharge waste into the harbor, particularly when we are wake boarding and swimming."
• "Parking at Stonycreek Beach for Branford residents only. Separate paid lot for others. Southbound exit 53. 4-way stop at Leetes Island Rd Eastwood and Wellesley Drive....."
• "Pay for sport programs so parents don't have to fully fund everything!"
• "A wall on the East Haven border!"
• "We desperately need more parking downtown."
• "Costco"
• "Fix the problems at Walsh and fund the arts."
