Rear Access Gate To Town Hall Will Be Limited: Waterford Police
Police said drivers are continuing to use the access gate as a cut-through to the high school, and someone was almost struck by a car there.
WATERFORD, CT — When schools reopen in Waterford after the holidays, a popular cut-through to the high school will be closed.
Police announced on Thursday that the rear gate access off Boston Post Road into Waterford Town Hall will be closed between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m. when students return to school next month.
"People continue to use this as a cut through to get to Waterford High School every morning…..at very high speeds for a parking lot…putting people at risk. The report of a person almost being struck last week has caused us to make a change," Waterford police said in a Facebook post Thursday.
