There was a grand opening ceremony this morning to commemorate the long awaited completion of the extension of Super 7 from the Southern end of Brookfield, CT to the Southern end of New Milford.

State Representative David Scribner of the 107th District, serving Bethel and Brookfield put out the following statemtent at 2:30 PM today.

Dear Neighbors, We did it! After many years, a few set backs, and a lot of hard work, the Route 7 Brookfield Bypass is officially open for motorists. I was honored to join Governor Rell and Senator Andrew Roraback for the official grand opening this morning, and am excited that this critical project has finally been completed.

This extension of Route 7 will help alleviate traffic congestion in Brookfield. This is not only a boon to motorists tired of hitting the brake pedal on their way to and from work, it is an important step forward for the business community in Brookfield and making our town more attractive to those who want to open or expand a business here. As the Ranking Member of the General Assembly’s Transportation Committee, as well as a member of the Finance, Revenue, and Bonding Committee, I have made the Route 7 Bypass a priority during my time in the Legislature. I have been extremely fortunate to be joined in that fight by Senator Roraback, as well as Brookfield’s own Governor Rell. This project will certainly be among the most important legacies of her Administration. Working as a team, we were able to ensure the funding was made available, negotiate obstacles, and see the project through.

As for me I'm on my way out to my Honda Civic to test it out before any potholes develop.

From a Real Estate persepctive this opens up many new opportunities for folks commute to the west or South of Danbury to purchase affordable housing in Brookfield and New Milford.

Well, this morning we boarded our flight to Bozeman, Montana to see my daughter Wendy and her husband Dave for 8 days, and, of course, everyone was so helpful that I neglected to grab my computer or book out of my carryon bag. It ended up in an overhead three rows behind us, and had to be turned sideways to fit—so now other folk’s things were piled in front. By the time I sat down, I realized I had two and a half hours with no book or computer, and both my seat mates had great books they were already deeply immersed in.

So, as I sat and tried to read “Delta,” I began to think about the direction of all of my efforts in the real estate business, and how I had neglected all of my friends from years past. Then, through the fog, I had a brainstorm!

I feel so totally out of touch, not being involved in the school system or with families anymore in my “Dagny’s Kiddie-Care” business (now that it is closed) ----- why not call 1-3 friends every week and pick their brains on all of the fun goings on around town from their perspective?

The pickings could be anything from the latest great trip, to town developments, to next week’s Pumpkin Festival, etc. This could be local information, someone’s experience, some great tidbit, etc. This way I can still stay in touch, and yet GIVE to everyone, the way I like to, through a blog. It would be anonymous or quoted, whatever each would like. This way, we could all share…..

A shop in town might like to be quoted for sure, for example. They might like to spread the word about a special item or sale, ….. It could be a great source of information for all of us in this area of Fairfield County and Wilton. If anyone had any awesome pictures, I could post them on my South Wilton localism blog along with the information/ stories …..

So, what do you think of my great excuse to catch up with you all, and then get a great chance to ramble, which I am so good at?

Please throw your comments and ideas out there for me!
